In the automotive sector — garages, body shops, inspection centres and dealerships — the repair quote should specify each part with its reference and price, the estimated labour hours according to manufacturer time guides, and ancillary work such as electronic diagnostics, alignment or balancing. The client greatly values knowing whether the parts are original, equivalent or reconditioned, as this affects both the price and the warranty.
For complex repairs after an accident, the quote should be structured so the insurer can validate it: separating bodywork, paint, mechanical work, tyres and glass. Garages that present professional digital quotes close more repairs because they convey trust to the driver, who often doesn't know market prices and fears being overcharged.
DealForge lets automotive garages create repair quotes with parts references, labour times and written warranties. The client receives the quote on their phone, compares it at their convenience and authorises the repair with electronic signature before the garage starts work.
