Does this estimate the cost of a repair?

No, and deliberately not. It produces no price, no hours and no duration. A repair estimate belongs to the person who has seen the car — inventing one on a website would be dishonest to the driver and useless to you.

Does it diagnose the fault?

No. It maps what a driver asks before booking, which is almost never the diagnosis. It is whether you work on their car, whether you can take it, and what happens while it is with you.

Why does the list mention things we already tell people?

Because telling people on the phone and publishing it are different things. Anything answered on the phone forty times a month is a fact that could have been on the page once.

Can Lina book the car in?

She can take the enquiry with the vehicle and job type already answered, and hand it to whoever runs your diary. She does not pretend to know what is free on the ramp.

Industry · Mechanic

Tell them what you do before they phone to ask.

Pick the jobs that come through your door. This shows the questions drivers ask first — and the facts your workshop has to publish so those questions stop arriving by phone.

Why this exists

Nearly every call a workshop takes is answered before the car is even seen: do you work on this make, can you take it today, do I need to book, do you have my tyre size. None of those are diagnoses. They are facts about the garage.

This tool deliberately produces no estimate — not hours, not cost, not how long a repair takes. Those belong to you, after the car is on the ramp. What it maps is everything a driver needs to know before that point, and which of those facts your site does not currently state.

What we build for mechanic businesses

Lina on first contact — Answers capability, booking and opening-hours questions in the driver’s language, out of hours.
A site that states capability — Makes, models and equipment published plainly, on your own domain.
Structured enquiries — The job type and vehicle arrive with the enquiry, not after three messages.
Booking without a phone call — A driver picks a slot instead of calling during your busiest hour.
Job and vehicle records — Past jobs, parts and photos filed per vehicle and searchable in Fioka.
Workshop dashboards — Bay occupancy, jobs in progress and parts on order on one screen.
