DaveHey, my brakes are making this awful grinding noise. Can you look at it?

Common questions from Auto Repair & Collision businesses.

How does it handle callers who just want a price?
It quotes your diagnostic fee and gives a labor ballpark range - never a total from thin air. If the caller pushes for a firm price on a car you haven’t seen, it says so, books the diagnostic, and lets them know the tech will call with an itemized estimate.
Does it know my labor rate and diagnostic fee?
Yes. Whatever you charge, it quotes. When a caller asks "how much?", it answers with your exact numbers.
Can it collect year / make / model / VIN?
Yes. It also asks about symptoms - won’t start, warning lights, fluid leaks - so your tech has a head start before the car arrives. It all lands in the call notes.
What about insurance / collision claims?
It captures the insurance carrier, claim number and adjuster contact if the caller has them, adds them to the call notes, and books the estimate appointment.
Does it work with Shop-Ware, Mitchell 1 or AutoLeap?
Not directly yet. Appointments land on your Google Calendar or Calendly with the vehicle and symptoms attached, the customer gets a text and email confirmation, and you’re notified right away.
What if we specialize (Euro, diesel, classic)?
We tune it during setup. A Porsche-only shop’s line politely declines domestic vehicles and can point callers to a partner shop.
