Estimates that win the job

It’s built to land at or slightly above standard book time — fair, competitive, and profitable. The goal is to be the shop the customer chooses, not the one they walk away from.

Seconds, not guesswork

Describe the work the way you’d say it out loud — even rough or abbreviated — and get a clean, priced estimate back right away.

Competitive by design

Estimates anchor to standard book time and stay competitive with other independent shops, so you win more of the work you quote.

Consistent every time

Every writer quotes the same way, so your pricing stays consistent no matter who’s at the counter.

It learns from your shop — not a generic price book

Add a VIN and the estimate uses the exact engine and configuration for that vehicle. Then it looks at your own past paid jobs for similar work, so your estimates reflect how your shop actually prices — at your labor rate.

  • Decodes the VIN for exact year, make, model, and engine
  • References your shop’s real, paid jobs for similar work
  • Prices everything at your configured labor rate
  • Applies overlap discounts when jobs share the same teardown
How it works

From a sentence to a priced estimate

01

Describe the job

Type the work in plain English and add the vehicle or VIN. Misspelled or abbreviated is fine — it figures out what you mean.

02

It does the thinking

It anchors to standard book time, factors in real-world conditions, checks your shop history, and applies overlap discounts.

03

Review & send

You get itemized tasks, sub-steps, hours, and a competitive price range — ready to drop into an estimate and send.

What you get back

A real estimate — not just a number

  • Each job broken into clear, labeled tasks
  • 2–5 sub-steps per task with hours that add up exactly
  • A competitive labor price range you can stand behind
  • A confidence flag so you know when to double-check
  • A plain-English summary you can read to the customer
  • Specialty-vehicle notes for European and luxury jobs

You’re always in control. The AI gives you a fast, well-reasoned starting point — you review every line and adjust before anything is sent. It’s a smart assistant for your service writers, not a replacement for your judgment.
