Auto Quotes

Auto Quotes is an instant quoting feature designed to help you save time. It is available on some but not all job categories and allows you to set an advised price for different repairs. When a job is posted in your area, the system automatically sends a quote using your pre-set pricing.

Did you know... 71% of jobs on FixMyCar are booked within 24 hours of posting, and 89% of those are booked within the first hour. Setting up Auto Quotes could help you win more work.

How to set up Auto Quotes

From the homepage, click ‘Auto Quotes’ in the navigation bar. You will be taken to a page where you can turn on automatic quoting for different categories and set your prices.

Choose the categories you’d like to automatically quote on using the ‘on’/’off’ toggles, and enter the price in the relevant box.

We recommend clicking ‘customise message’ to add information about the service you offer and any extra details a driver might want to know. When you are happy with the message, don’t forget to press the ‘apply’ button to save your changes. 

The final step is to preview the message, which shows you what it looks like to a driver.

Auto Quotes are an excellent way to save time and win more customers with minimal effort. You can update them or switch them off at any time.

Parts & Labour Auto Quotes

Parts & Labour Auto Quotes are designed to help save you time by automatically calculating quotes. You can use this feature if your main parts supplier is EuroCarParts or AAG.

How it works

1. You enter your ECP account number, labour rate and parts markup.
2. Choose which parts you want to use Parts & Labour Auto Quotes for by clicking the ‘turn on’ toggle. You can also choose what part quality you’d like and select a brand preference.
   
3. The system calculates job quotes using the information you have provided and vehicle information from Haynes Pro.
   
4. When your quote is accepted, someone from ECP headquarters will call you to confirm the correct parts for the job.
   
5. Finally, the parts will be conveniently delivered to you from a local ECP branch, saving you time and effort.
