Real shop floor. Real brake job. Nothing staged.

The repair orders, estimates, and scheduling you have now. The difference: the writing, sending, answering, and remembering run on their own.

02  Less typing

Say a little. It writes the rest.

Four hand-offs on one repair order. Each one takes a few words from a person and the system does the typing, the pricing, and the follow-up.

Vehicle: 2019 BMW X5

1. You reported issues with the brakes. During our inspection we found the front brake pads are worn down to 2mm. This is below the safe level, so they need to be replaced.

2. We also discovered that the front brake rotors need to be replaced.

3. Additionally, we found a leak in the water pump, which could lead to coolant loss. This needs further evaluation.

4. The air filter is dirty, and we recommend replacing it.

5. The left rear CV boot is torn. This could let dirt damage the CV axle, so replacement is recommended.
