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 we haven’t seen, it says so, books the diagnostic, and promises the tech will call with an itemised estimate once the car is up.
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?
Standard intake. It also asks the symptoms - turning over, warning lights, fluid leaks - so your tech has a real diagnostic head-start before the car arrives.
What about insurance / collision claims?
It captures the insurance carrier, claim number, and adjuster contact if the caller has them, and books the estimate appointment. DRP-for-specific-carriers routing is a one-line onboarding config.
Does it text a Google Maps link and directions?
Yes - automatic after booking. Directions link, your address, and the tech assigned.
What if we specialise (Euro, diesel, classic)?
We tune the script during onboarding. A Porsche-only shop’s line politely declines domestic vehicles and refers to a partner shop.
