Quoting
Quotes the customer approves online
A quote is a decision waiting to happen. Mech Central builds it fast — your rates, your parts, your standard wording — and sends it as a link the customer can approve from their phone. The moment they accept, it is an invoice with the car's details already on it.

The problem
Quotes given over the phone, then argued about at pickup.
Terms and conditions re-typed, or worse, re-pasted, onto every quote.
The accepted quote retyped as an invoice, with a typo in the rego.
How it works
01
Build it from memory
The quick-add box takes shorthand — '2 hrs diag', '5-30', 'front pads hilux' — and fills lines from your labour rates, parts memory and service menu.
02
Price parts properly
Cost and RRP on each part. The summary shows your profit on parts, which the customer never sees.
03
Send for approval
The customer opens the link, reads the sections and your four-line terms, and taps accept. You get notified.
04
It becomes the invoice
Acceptance creates the invoice with the vehicle, rego and description carried across. Follow-up chasers go out to quotes that sit unanswered.
The details
Quote terms are four editable lines in Settings — not a wall of boilerplate that grows every time it is saved.
Sections: Labour, Parts, Tyres and Workshop charges, each with its own subtotal.
'Use standard description' inserts your usual service wording in one tap.
Follow-up button on sent quotes; chasers use your saved wording.
Extra work discovered mid-job goes out as its own approval, not a re-issued quote.
Questions
Can the customer approve without an account?
Yes. The link is secured by a token; no login, no app to install.
What if they want to change something?
They call you, you edit the quote and resend. Editing a sectioned quote keeps its sections.
Free for a month
Put one real car through it.
Set-up takes about two minutes. Book a car, quote it, photograph it, invoice it and let the reminder bring it back. The first month is free, so it costs nothing to find out.
