Use AI to review your repair estimates before sending to catch missing labor steps or parts you forgot to list.

Before you send a repair estimate to a customer, paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to review what you included. AI can spot gaps like missing labor items, parts you referenced but didn't list, or steps that don't match up with the problem you described. It's like having someone double-check your work before the customer sees it — and it only takes a minute. This is especially helpful when you're writing estimates quickly between jobs or for complex repairs with multiple systems involved. AI won't know your exact shop rates or parts pricing, but it will catch logical gaps like 'you said you'd replace the alternator but didn't list the serpentine belt' or 'you mentioned coolant flush but no coolant is listed.' Catching these before the customer asks saves you from looking unprepared or having to send a revised estimate later. Just copy your draft estimate, paste it in, and ask AI to review it for completeness. You'll get a quick rundown of anything that looks missing or unclear, and you can fix it before hitting send.
