Estimate follow-up for auto body and collision shops.

Most written estimates are never followed up. The customer is not saying no, they are comparing, and the job goes to the shop that checked back. This follows up every quiet estimate on a schedule, so nobody has to remember to.

Collision, wrap and performance shops that send written estimates

The problem

A shop writes ten estimates a week and follows up on none of them. The customer is not saying no, they are saying nothing, and the job goes to whoever called them back.

What it does

  • Detects an estimate that has gone quiet
  • Sends a timed sequence at day two, day five and day ten
  • Answers the common objections in the message rather than waiting to be asked
  • Stops the moment the customer replies or opts out
  • Records every reply and opt-out against the job

EvidenceThe mechanism is proven, not theoretical: it has been running on corsaauto.com, this house’s own shop, and has sent 346 follow-ups producing 10 replies and 3 opt-outs. Yours is built against your systems rather than switched on from ours.

Questions

Asked and answered straight.

Why do estimates go cold?

Usually because nobody follows up. The customer is waiting on an insurer, comparing shops, or simply busy. A short, timed message brings back a share of them that would otherwise go to whoever called first.

Will it keep messaging someone who already said no?

No. The sequence stops the moment a customer replies or opts out, and every reply and opt-out is recorded against the job.

Does it work with my shop management system?

It is built against the system you already use, which is why it is built to order rather than switched on. The first conversation is about where your estimates live today.

How much does estimate follow-up cost?

$700 per month. There is no rebuild and no minimum term: keep it while it pays for itself and stop when it does not.

Is it running anywhere today?
