From inspection to approved estimate in one workflow

How the inspection, estimate and approval steps connect in AutoSync — and how to get approvals back faster.

The fastest approvals come from a tight loop between the technician, the advisor and the customer.

Technician: complete the inspection

Start the inspection from the repair order, rate each item, add photos and measurements, and mark findings that need work.

Advisor: build the estimate

Recommended findings become jobs. Apply canned jobs where they fit; labor rates and parts matrices price them automatically.

Send for approval

Send the estimate by text, email or both. The customer sees each job with its photos and approves, declines or defers each one.

Act on the decision

Approved jobs move the repair order forward on the Job Board. Declined work is saved on the vehicle for next time.
