Car repair and body shops
A repair estimate form that prices from your list, not from guesswork
Customers send the car, the mileage, what is wrong and a photo of the damage. OnDot drafts a price range from your own price list, or offers an inspection when a photo can't tell.
Sound familiar?
- "How much for my brakes?" arrives without the car, the mileage or a photo.
- Body work is impossible to price from a text, so you end up on the phone.
- Customers ring three garages and book the first one that answers.

The bots behind it
Intake
Checks the request is complete and real, sorts it by job type and asks for a photo when it is body work.
Builder
Reads the description and the photos, picks the items from your list and drafts a range. Never prices bodywork from a photo it cannot read: it offers your inspection instead.
Follow-up
Answers their replies and offers free times from your calendar to bring the car in. You approve; the time is held for them.

An example
From Jane Miller
2017 Honda Civic, 84,000 miles. Brakes: grinding noise from the front when I brake, worse in the last week.
Draft · waiting for your OK
Hi Jane, grinding from the front usually means worn pads, sometimes the rotors too.
Front brake pads: $150–$250. If the rotors are scored as well, pads and rotors: $320–$520. We confirm when we see it.
Bring it in: Thu 8:30 AM · Thu 1:00 PM · Fri 9:00 AM
Questions
- Can it really price from a photo?
- Only when the photo shows enough. For anything it can't judge, like side damage that might be more than a dent, it offers your inspection price instead of a range.
- Do customers see an exact price?
- They see a range from your list, worded as an estimate you confirm when you see the car. Firm-price requests come to you.
- Does it work with AI assistants?
- Yes. An assistant booking a repair for someone gets the same form as a tool, with your rules, and a status link for your answer.
