Auto repair: the booking reaches the advisor, not the pile

Booking requests and parts queries copied to service advisors and the workshop. Sinka fans one bookings inbox out across an auto repair shop.

Auto repair: the booking reaches the advisor, not the pile

The setup

Owner Leon fans service@ out to two advisors and the workshop tablet. Advisors quote from desks; the workshop reads the job notes on the ramp.

How the mail flows

  1. A customer describes a grinding noise with a video clip Monday.
  2. Advisors and workshop both hold the identical clip within minutes.
  3. The advisor books Wednesday with the parts pre-ordered.
  4. service@ keeps the per-car history that settles 'it was already like that' debates.

Why Sinka fits here

  • Video and audio of the fault arrive intact where the spanners are.
  • Advisors quote from their own inboxes with their own follow-ups.
  • No shared password on a greasy workshop tablet.

Watch out for

  • Book the ramp in a shared calendar the moment you quote, or jobs double-book.
  • Estimate approvals must come back in writing — a copy received is not approval given.
