Draft a job quote from your inspection notes
Turn a few lines of inspection notes into a clean, itemised quote you just review and send.
What you’ll do
- Paste your rough inspection notes.
- Ask what a clear repair quote must include before it drafts.
- Have it draft the quote; you review the prices and send.
Common questions
Will it know the right prices for parts and labour?
No — it deliberately leaves prices as blank placeholders for you to fill in. Your rates, your margins, your call. AI handles the structure and wording; you stay in control of every number.
What if my inspection notes are pretty rough — just shorthand?
That's fine. Paste whatever you scrawled. The prompt asks AI to list what a clear quote needs first, so it'll flag any gaps before it drafts — you just fill them in.
Could it describe a repair incorrectly on the quote?
It can only work from what you paste in, so if your notes are accurate the draft will be too. You're the mechanic — give it a quick read before it goes to the customer and fix anything that's off.
Will the quote sound like it came from my workshop, or like a corporate template?
By default it'll be professional but generic. The lesson shows how to paste in one quote you liked so it matches your tone and format.
Do I need to install anything or sign up for a service?
No. You open ChatGPT or Claude in a browser tab — the free version works fine — paste your notes, and you're done.
How long does it actually take once I've done it once?
After the first try, most mechanics find it takes two or three minutes: paste notes, run the prompt, tweak the prices, done.
