How one computer repair flows

An example of a computer repair in Repair Karte (the customer and item are made up). The plan for each step is written under it; see pricing.

  1. 1Check-in

    Check in the laptop for “very slow to start”

    Pick the item type and the usual work in a tap, write the symptom, and print a claim tag (PDF on Letter or A4). The customer signs on screen.

    Plan: All plans (Free: up to 100 repairs a month) · QR code on the claim tag: Standard and up

  2. 2Estimate

    Send a $189.00 estimate for “ssd replacement and data transfer”

    The customer approves it on the repair's status page. On Standard and Pro the estimate is emailed automatically, and a reminder goes out if they haven't answered (after 5 days to start).

    Plan: Approval on the status page: all plans · Automatic email and reminders: Standard and up

  3. 3In repair

    Add “Waiting for parts (SSD ordered)” to the timeline

    The customer can check progress on the repair's status page anytime (from the QR code on their claim tag, or by looking up their phone number). When the parts arrive, move the status on.

    Plan: Status page: all plans · QR code on the claim tag: Standard and up

  4. 4Ready

    Mark it complete, and the customer is told

    A ready-for-pickup email goes out with a link to the status page, where the customer can book a pickup time and pay by card before coming in.

    Plan: Email: Standard and up · Card payment (Stripe): Standard and up · Pickup booking: Pro

  5. 5Pickup

    Hand it over and record the payment

    Record how it was paid (deposits are subtracted automatically). The repair stays on Emily's history, and on the item's history by serial number.

Made for computer repairs

1

Diagnosis notes on the ticket

The customer's description goes in at check-in; add what you find to the notes and timeline as you diagnose, so anyone at the counter can answer questions.

2

Approve the diagnosis online

Send a line-item estimate with a note for the customer. They approve it on the status page, on every plan, instead of you waiting for a call back.

3

History by serial number

Turn on serial numbers to see every repair the same machine has had, even when a different family member brings it in.
