These are the form and data challenges your industry faces every day
Phones Ring All Morning
Service advisors spend the first two hours of each day on the phone booking appointments, gathering vehicle details, and reading back confirmation numbers instead of serving customers already in the shop.
Paper Vehicle Intake Forms
Customers fill out vehicle intake forms on paper at drop-off, creating a transcription bottleneck, illegible handwriting problems, and a slow check-in process during the morning rush.
No Repair History in One Place
When a returning customer comes in, their previous repair notes are in the shop management software — but their communications, complaints, and special requests are in email and on sticky notes.
Warranty Claims Are Manual
Warranty claim submissions require gathering documentation over the phone, printing forms, and mailing supporting materials — a process that frustrates customers and delays reimbursement.
Test Drive Bookings Without Structure
Customers interested in test driving a vehicle call the dealership, wait to speak with a sales advisor, and may get rescheduled — losing interest before they ever sit behind the wheel.
Customer Feedback Goes Uncollected
Service satisfaction surveys are mailed weeks after the visit when the experience has faded, resulting in low response rates and feedback that is too vague to act on.
A form builder and CRM built around the way your team actually works
Online Service Appointment Booking
Let customers request a service appointment online any time — capturing vehicle year, make, model, VIN, mileage, and service needed before they ever arrive at the shop.
Every Customer Becomes a CRM Contact
Each service appointment or inquiry automatically creates or updates a customer record in your CRM, giving advisors a full vehicle and service history in one place.
Digital Vehicle Intake at Drop-Off
Replace the paper intake form with a mobile-friendly digital version customers complete on their phone or a tablet at the desk — faster, legible, and automatically saved.
Structured Warranty Claim Forms
Build warranty claim forms that capture all required documentation upfront — vehicle details, purchase date, complaint description, and photos — reducing claim processing time.
Test Drive Booking Forms
Create a branded test drive request form that captures driver's license details, preferred vehicle, and availability — feeding directly into the sales team's CRM pipeline.
Instant Service Request Notifications
Get an alert the moment a service appointment or test drive request comes in, so your team can confirm within minutes and reduce the no-show rate.
Tools designed for your specific workflows
Conditional Logic
Show fleet account fields only for commercial customers, reveal diesel-specific service questions for diesel vehicles, and surface warranty fields only for vehicles within the coverage window.
Photo and Document Upload
Allow customers to upload photos of damage, existing scratches, and warning lights directly in the intake form — creating a documented vehicle condition record before work begins.
Digital Authorization Signatures
Collect repair authorization and additional work approval signatures digitally — stored with the work order and accessible to service advisors without chasing a paper form.
Auto-Confirmation Emails
Customers receive an instant appointment confirmation with drop-off instructions, expected turnaround time, and your shop address — reducing missed appointments and confused arrivals.
Post-Service Satisfaction Surveys
Send automated satisfaction surveys the day after a vehicle is collected, capturing feedback while the experience is fresh and routing negative responses to the manager immediately.
Sales Pipeline for Test Drives
Track every test drive request through a visual CRM pipeline — from booked to completed to followed up — so the sales team never lets a warm lead go cold after the drive.
60% of customers prefer to book service appointments online rather than by phone, yet most shops still require a call.
Auto shops that add online appointment booking report filling more available slots, reducing phone volume during peak hours, and capturing customer preferences more consistently.
