Paintless dent repair shop software that quotes by panel

Hold the car. A dent job is described by where the damage is and how hard it is to reach, and the record that matters afterwards is a set of photographs of panels. Service VIN keeps the customer, the vehicle, the panels quoted, the photos and the whole text and call thread on one record, so the next conversation starts where the last one stopped instead of in somebody's camera roll.

Yes. The quote builder holds a la carte lines and packages on the same estimate, with per line discounts, an order discount and add-ons, and it shows the margin on the job as you build it. The customer approves it from their phone and can leave a deposit at the same time, which drops the work onto the calendar as a booked job.

Yes, and the guided capture is the half that matters: the app asks for the shots in a fixed order, so every car is documented the same way whoever did it. The photos file against the vehicle and appear on the customer's own job tracker, which is also what settles an argument about whether a crease was already there.

Not as stock, and that is the honest gap on this page. Film and material are tracked to the linear foot, and a part can be put on a quote and an invoice as a priced line, but there is no on-hand count of clips, trim or a replacement panel and no supplier ordering. If parts are most of your bill, that is a real reason to look at a shop management system instead.

Yes. It answers the calls nobody reached, texts back the ones that ring out from your own number in seconds, and books from your real calendar rather than promising a callback. It answers from your actual services and prices, and quiet hours and opt-outs are enforced in code, so nothing goes out at eleven at night.

Yes. There are native import presets for Urable, Tint Wiz and OrbisX, plus QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books and any CSV, covering customers, vehicles, invoice history, job history and open leads. Imported records are held apart from the live messaging rails, so a back catalogue can never text somebody who has not heard from you in two years. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with every feature unlocked.

A single tech whose whole need is an invoice on a phone will get there faster with an invoicing app. A shop whose work is mostly panel replacement and refinish is describing a body shop, and body work runs on insurer estimating platforms we do not write for. And a collision shop should not buy this at all, for the same reason.

Tax: your shop sets one rate and every line on an invoice is taxable or exempt against it, so GST at 5 percent or HST at 13 or 15 is a setting rather than a workaround, and the sales-tax report gives your bookkeeper the taxable base, the exempt base and the tax actually charged on an accrual or a cash basis. What it does not do is split one invoice across two provincial rates, because there is a single shop-wide rate and no per-line rate in the data; if you bill at two rates, check that first. CASL is not a switch somebody flips but a set of rails: service and appointment messages are treated separately from marketing, marketing is counted against a per-customer limit, quiet hours and opt-outs are enforced in code, and an opt-out applies across the whole shop. The SMS policy page sets out the rules the product follows, and nothing here is legal advice.
