01
The service call is its own line
The diagnostic fee, hourly labor and the after-hours surcharge are separate price-book lines, so every ticket starts the same way.

Day one
A price book drafted for your trade: 28 researched lines, and you confirm every one.
Diagnostic, labor and surcharge lines up front, then a repair for each appliance and the common part swaps.

Real rows from the 28-line starter book. Every line carries at least two dated sources, lands as a draft in your review queue, and nothing publishes until you confirm it.
Optional · Kit AI · $99/mo · flat for the shop, never per person
An optional AI add-on for calls and paperwork.
Kit AI is an optional add-on at $99 a month, flat for the shop and never per person — usage included to start, then metered by the minute. It answers the business line on missed calls or after hours and records each call as a job request with a transcript. Technicians’ photographs become draft quotes priced from the shop’s pricebook, filed expenses, and equipment records, and dictation recorded in the truck becomes notes and drafts. Everything it produces is reviewed by a person before it is sent, scheduled, or priced, and the plan works fully without it.
For example: a photo of a washer’s model plate and the failed pump becomes a draft quote from your price book, waiting for you to check it.
