Use AI to instantly create a multi-service estimate when a customer needs several repairs done at once.
When a customer's vehicle needs multiple repairs—like brakes, an oil leak, and a check engine light—writing up a clear estimate with all the parts, labor, and totals can eat up 15-20 minutes of your day. Instead of typing it all out manually, give AI a quick list of what you found during inspection and let it format a professional, itemized estimate in under a minute. This is perfect for busy days when you have several vehicles waiting and need to get quotes out fast so customers can approve work.

“Act as an experienced automotive service advisor writing a detailed repair estimate. I need you to create a professional, itemized estimate for a customer based on the following repairs needed: [list each repair, like "front brake pads and rotors," "repair oil pan gasket leak," "diagnose and repair P0420 code - likely catalytic converter"]. For each item, include a line for parts cost, labor hours, and labor cost. Use placeholder amounts like $XXX for parts and $XX/hour for labor so I can fill in my actual prices. At the bottom, include subtotal, tax line, and total. Use clear section headers and make it easy for a customer to understand what they're paying for. Format it so I can copy it directly into an estimate form or email.”
