Online car repair quote
Before touching the vehicle, the customer needs to know how much it's going to cost and agree to it. This is the fastest and safest way to get that.
What the quote should include
- Clear diagnosis of the problem detected
- Breakdown of labour and parts, with unit price
- Applicable VAT and final total
- Estimated time for delivering the vehicle
- Customer's signature accepting the amount before the repair
Signing before the repair protects you too
A verbal quote is worthless if the customer later says "that's not what we agreed." With a digital signature from the customer's own phone, the shop has an exact record of what was approved, with date and time, before the vehicle was touched.
From approved quote to invoice
Once signed, the quote should be able to turn directly into an invoice without re-typing the data โ and that invoice compliant with Verifactu. Fewer steps, fewer transcription errors.
Frequently asked questions
What should a car repair quote include?
Diagnosis, a breakdown of labour and parts with price, applicable VAT, an estimated delivery time, and the customer's signature accepting the amount before the repair starts.
Why ask for a signature before repairing the vehicle?
To avoid disputes over the final price: if the customer approves the amount in writing before the car is touched, there are no surprises or claims when they pick up the vehicle.
