Customer Intake (Tekmetric)

Name, vehicle, phone, and reason — every call and greeting

On every phone call or greeting: customer name, year/make/model, phone number, and reason for call/visit.

1. Collect complete information

  • Name (first and last), year/make/model, reason in detail
  • Phone, email, mailing address
  • How they found Cody's (Customer Source in Tekmetric)

2. Enter into Tekmetric

Job Board or Appointments → orange + → New Customer. Add vehicle. Enter VIN when the vehicle is physically received.

3. Explain process & quote

Inspection / estimate-by-text as applicable. Diagnostics use current Tekmetric canned jobs only (Level 1 / 2 / 3 and New Customer Specials). Do not quote obsolete sheet prices. Always state the grand total and repair-credit rules. A price with no car on site is RO-001 Phone Quote — not Check-in.

4. RO, authorization, schedule

  • Build the RO with the correct canned job(s) and notes
  • Explicit verbal approval; grand total for clarity
  • Appointments → date/time → New Appointment → all fields → save

Confirm live Tekmetric / Supervisor before quoting rates. Passwords are never printed in Library copies.
