Auto Repair Booking Software for Independent Shops
A car doesn't get a price until somebody's looked at it, and until then a customer doesn't know what they're actually booking for, or how long they'll be without the car in the meantime. kiwilaunch keeps the diagnostic as its own booking, separate from the repair it might turn into: its own service, its own length, no price attached to a job that hasn't been opened up yet. Once you know what's wrong, the price goes out as a payment link, and the repair gets its own slot on the calendar instead of a promise nobody can keep.

Booking software for auto repair shops built around the diagnostic, not the fix
A repair shop can't price a job before it's been opened up, and a customer without a car in the meantime is waiting on that number. kiwilaunch keeps the diagnostic as its own service with its own length, separate from the repair it might turn into. Once you know what's wrong, send the price as a payment link, or charge it from the dashboard once the customer's agreed to it over the phone. Booking happens on your own website through an embed script, or on a standalone kiwilaunch booking page.
The diagnostic is a booking, the price isn't yet
A customer calls about a noise, and nobody, including you, knows what it'll cost to fix until the car's been looked at. Set the diagnostic up as its own service with its own length, separate from the repair it might turn into. A customer books time with a technician, not a price, and what the diagnostic finds is what decides the appointment that comes after it.
The price gets sent once, not argued about at pickup
Once the number exists, the moment to send it is right then, while the diagnosis is still fresh, not at the counter while the customer's standing there waiting on their keys. Send the price as a payment link the moment the diagnostic wraps, or charge it from the dashboard once the customer's agreed to it over the phone. If the job turns out bigger once it's underway, the difference goes on as an extra charge from the same dashboard, so pickup is a handoff, not a negotiation.
Mechanic scheduling software for a two-visit job
A diagnostic and the repair that follows it often land as two separate bookings, sometimes with two different technicians, days apart. Each technician is a staff member with their own shifts and their own calendar, so a shop with more than one bay runs off one schedule instead of a whiteboard everyone has to walk over and check. If a repair runs longer than expected, that booking is rescheduled to another time rather than left open-ended.
Booking a diagnostic instead of describing a noise over the phone
Most calls into a repair shop start with somebody trying to describe a sound they can't really explain, hoping for a number nobody can give them yet. A diagnostic slot on the booking page skips that call: the customer picks a time to bring the car in without having to explain what's wrong first. Put the widget on your site with a script tag, or send people straight to a standalone kiwilaunch booking page if the shop runs on more of a listing than a website.
Calling with the diagnosis, not chasing a number later
The customer usually isn't standing there when you find out what's actually wrong, they dropped the car off and left. kiwilaunch runs on the iPhone already in your pocket: today's bookings, who's bringing a car in, and their payments. Send the payment link the moment you're off the phone with them, or take the card with Tap to Pay on iPhone when they're back to collect it, with no reader to buy or keep charged.
