The car's on the lift, the customer is in the lobby scrolling their phone, and the tech just found the rear brakes are metal-on-metal too. QuickQuote lets your advisor build the estimate in about 60 seconds and text it over — the customer taps approve without leaving their chair.
Start free 14-day trialSpeed is everything in a shop. Every minute the car sits waiting on an estimate is a bay not turning. The old way — advisor walks to the lobby, explains the findings, customer says "how much?", advisor walks back to the computer, prints something, walks back — burns twenty minutes and the customer's patience. With QuickQuote the advisor builds it at the counter or the bay: pads, rotors, labor, shop supplies, tax. The customer gets a text, sees every line, taps approve. The tech never stops working.
"Yeah, go ahead" over the phone is how disputes start. A tapped approval on an itemized estimate — tied to the customer's name, phone number, and a timestamp — is how they end. When a customer questions a charge at pickup, you pull up exactly what they approved, line by line. It also protects you on the upsell: the cabin filter and the alignment they declined are recorded as declined, not forgotten, so there's no "nobody told me" later.
Every shop has the same gold mine: the estimate the customer declined. "Just do the front brakes for now." Those declined lines don't disappear in QuickQuote — the dashboard shows every quote's status, so at the end of the week you can see exactly who said "not now" and follow up with one text: "Still want us to handle those rear brakes? We have an opening Thursday." That's found revenue with zero ad spend.

Approved estimates still need a lift and a tech. QuickQuote's bookings turn every "yes" into a scheduled slot: day view of all jobs, overlap warnings when the schedule gets tight, two-tap reschedule when a job runs over. The customer who approved the timing belt gets booked before they leave the parking lot — not "call us when you're ready," which means never.

No. They get a text with a link, open it on any phone, see the itemized estimate, and tap approve. Nothing to download.
It's tied to the customer's name and phone number with a timestamp, on an itemized estimate — far stronger than a verbal okay, and easy to pull up at pickup if there's ever a question.
