At every visit you check the car on fifteen points and upload the report.
You find what the customer didn't come for
Pads on the limit, a cracked CV boot, a battery that won't last the winter. Because the car is on your lift anyway.
You show instead of persuading
You mark it with a photo, and the customer sees it on their phone screen. You don't have to convince them at the counter.
The decision is theirs
If they want it, they request an estimate with one click and you price it on your own terms. If they don't, you close the job.
Fifteen inspection points. Hover over a dot on the car to see what you're checking.

Jak powstaje Twoja stawka
Stawkę ustalamy przy zakładaniu konta, na podstawie tego, jak wygląda i jak pracuje Twój warsztat. Kryteria są jawne i opisane w regulaminie dla serwisów, więc znasz ją, zanim weźmiesz pierwsze zlecenie. Naliczamy ją od wartości naprawy, w jednej pozycji, na jednej fakturze, bez opłat dodatkowych i bez opłaty za wypłatę.
Invoicing and the account are on us
We issue the invoice on your behalf, with KSeF support, after you approve it. You set up the account once, in a few minutes.
A settlement account under your NIP
You set up your own settlement account, tied to your company and your NIP. The customer's payment goes into it. We can't hold it back, push it to the next cycle or make it conditional on settling some other matter with us. The customer's card number reaches neither our servers nor you.
How your rate is set
We set the rate when you open the account, based on what your garage looks like and how it works. The criteria are open and described in the terms for garages, so you know the rate before you take your first job. We charge it on the value of the repair, as a single line on a single invoice, with no extra charges and no payout fee.

I have sat on both sides of that phone call. I know what an empty bay is worth when a customer booked in and didn't turn up. I know what it's like to wait three days for approval of a routine service and then be settled at a rate somebody typed into a table without asking your opinion. And I know why a garage can do nothing about it.
