FAQ

Questions, answered

What does the customer see?

Their car's status in plain words, the promised time, the estimate with prices, photos from check-in, the work and delivery, the inspection, invoices and a Pay now button.

Can they approve only part of the estimate?

Yes, line by line or all at once, with their name and a typed signature.

How long does the link work?

Until 30 days after delivery by default (you can change it). You can turn a link off or replace it at any time.

Which channel do messages go by?

WhatsApp first, then SMS, then email: if one cannot send, the next one does. You choose the channels and which messages go, per branch.

Will my customer see storage charges coming?

Yes, if you have switched storage on: their job page shows the free days, the date charges start, the rate and the maximum, and a message goes the day before and when charges start.
