Dealership features a complete service department management system. It is very easy to use, yet offers extensive functionality. 

·       Create and manage quotes. 

·       Track the progress of work once it has begun. 

·       Keep the customer’s payments in order. 

·       Ensure that you have all of the necessary parts on hand to complete the repairs. 

·       Find out which of your mechanics are completing jobs faster.

·        And of course, keep all of your previous work orders even after they are closed, so you will never lose critical information again.

Your service department probably has front counter staff (service writers/advisors) and staff that work in the shop (mechanics/technicians). When a customer requests service, a service writer will draft a work order and give it to a mechanic. When some or all of the work is completed, the work order is returned to the service writer to be updated. After the work is done, payment is collected, keys are returned, and the job is complete.

Dealership handles work orders in the following manner:

  • If a customer is shopping around or is not yet ready to commit to the service, you can create a quote. Draft a written estimate for a customer, which is easily converted to a work order if they want the work done. Quotes can be printed, and have an expiry date determined by your dealership. (The default is 14 days.)
  • When you receive the go-ahead to do the job, you create a work order. Work orders are created almost exactly like quotes, only they are “live”—the system treats them as work in progress. You can update work orders at any time.
  • When work is completed, the work order is closed. This does not delete the work order, but renders it inactive so it is not treated as work in progress. You can still recall these, or even re-open them if necessary.

Four different types of Work Orders:

External Work Order:
