Why do you need cost estimates?
By sending comprehensive cost estimates, you offer customers a clear understanding of the service process, required parts, and associated costs. This empowers customers to make informed decisions and cuts out ambiguity and misunderstandings throughout the service delivery process.
Bring clarity with accurate cost estimates
Create detailed cost estimates for service requests by specifying the necessary services and parts. You can also include taxes, make adjustments, and offer discounts to arrive at a ballpark figure. By providing transparent cost estimates upfront, you can manage customer expectations and reduce the chance of misunderstandings.
