Use AI to review your repair estimate before sending it to catch confusing terms or missing context.
Before you send an estimate to a customer, paste it into ChatGPT and ask it to flag anything that might confuse someone who doesn't know cars. AI can spot jargon you use every day without thinking—words like "actuator," "solenoid," or "serpentine belt"—and suggest clearer alternatives. It can also catch missing details like why a repair is urgent or what happens if they wait. This takes 30 seconds and helps you avoid the back-and-forth calls where customers ask what something means or why it costs that much. You're still the expert writing the estimate—AI just gives it a quick readability check before it leaves your hands.
