The quote is written before the kettle boils
A customer describes a noise. MechIQ drafts the whole quote — the likely parts at your prices, the labour at your rates — and the front desk reviews it, adjusts anything that needs adjusting, and sends it. What used to be twenty minutes of catalogue-hopping is a couple of minutes of checking.
Join the WaitlistItemised, not a ballpark
Parts and labour as separate lines with quantities and VAT — the kind of quote a customer can actually say yes to, not a single number they have to trust.
Your prices, your rates
Parts come from your own pricing rules and supplier costs; labour uses your hourly rates and any tier or account discount. The AI drafts, your pricing decides.
Grounded in the actual car
Quotes are built against the specific vehicle — its make, model, engine and mileage — not a generic template, so the parts and times suit the car on your ramp.
The desk stays in charge
Nothing is sent automatically. The AI produces a draft; a human reviews, edits and sends it. If the estimate looks wrong, you change it before the customer ever sees it.
Approved by link, recorded
The customer approves from their phone. The approval is recorded against the job, so what was agreed is never a matter of memory.
It learns your garage
Quotes you adjust feed back into future ones for your garage — your pricing habits, your typical jobs. That learning stays yours alone.
Why quoting is the bottleneck worth fixing
Quoting is the job nobody has time for: it happens at the counter, between phone calls, while a car waits. So it gets guessed, or it gets postponed, and either way margin leaks. Drafting it in seconds means the quote goes out while the customer is still interested — and it goes out itemised, which is what makes it defensible when the invoice arrives.
AI Quoting FAQ
Does the AI send quotes to customers by itself?+
No. It writes a draft. A person at the front desk reviews it, changes anything that needs changing, and decides whether to send it.
Where do the parts prices come from?+
Your own pricing — supplier costs and price lists where you have them, with your markup rules applied. You can override any line.
What if the AI gets it wrong?+
You edit it, and the change is what gets sent. Corrections also feed back into future quotes for your garage.
