Either you have a computer repair business, a mobile repair business, drone repair, television repair, bike repair, home appliance repair, watch repair, or car repair business. RepairBuddy WordPress plugin is capable of providing you with an amazing repairing business CRM. Which makes it really simple for you to manage estimates, jobs, technicians, payments, customers, and job reviews.
RepairBuddy helps you define device types, brands, and devices you operate with. Also, you can add services, parts, or WooCommerce products you offer so customers can easily book their device for repair. Where you can also set service prices by types, brands, or devices.
After repair booking, you can modify the quote and send an estimate to the customer so they can approve or reject it. On estimate approval, a job is started, and technicians work on it after getting the work order signed by the customer. A repair ticket can be provided to the customer so they can easily check their device repair status online. Which will improve the customer’s involvement in the repair process, and they can add feedback in the process by messages or attachments. Once a job is completed, an invoice can be printed and provided to the customer.
Online or on-site payments, full or partial, can be taken, and payment receipts can be sent or printed for customers.
SMS and email notifications are just another part that improves the confidence and reliability for your customers. You can send manual or auto notifications to customers on each step of the repairing process.
Feedback or reviews on your repair jobs are very important, which can let you know how your customers feel about your service. Auto- or manual-feedback requests can be sent to the customer’s email or via SMS notifications.
The maintenance reminder is a magical module within RepairBuddy to bring customers back to your business.
These are just some main parts; however, the RepairBuddy WordPress plugin includes several more features with it.

???? Device types, brands and devices
Either you provide repairing services for mobile phones, tablets, computers, or cars, trucks, and bikes, or you offer repairing services for TVs, air conditioners, watches, or anything. It’s very easy to add the device types and the brands you operate with and some devices. So customers can easily book their service for the device type and device they want. Additional fields can help you get the IMEI, serial number, registration number, pin code, or model number, whatever your requirements are. If you haven’t already listed the device, “other option” is a great feature for customers to add their own devices and brands.
???? Services, parts, extras or WooCommerce products
When you are working on a job, you add some services, parts, and extras of products in it. If you have parts in WooCommerce products or you want to use our plugin’s parts feature, both are possible. Extras is a great option that you can use to add items that are not already added in parts or products, for example, a used power cable. The services you define with their service types allow customers to choose them while booking their devices for repair.
???? Device Booking single or multiple devices
Customers can easily book their devices for repair by selecting their device type, brand, and then device. If their device isn’t listed already, they can click “other option” to add their device manually.
Customers can add multiple devices in a single booking form. After adding devices, they can select services for each device they need. If their required service isn’t listed, they can manually enter it. At last they fill out their information, and if anything is to be attached, the booking is complete. Customers receive their case number to later check their repairing status online. They also receive email notification about the booking.

After booking, the technician reviews the request and evaluates the required services and parts depending on the customer’s requirements. The technician modifies or adds new services, parts, and extras, then sends the estimate to the customer for approval.
