- You stop work under a car to answer "Activa service kitne ka hai" for the tenth time.
- Customers do not know what a general service includes, so they feel overcharged later.
- Pickup and drop requests come as missed calls that nobody returns on a busy Saturday.
- Rate card by vehicle: general service, oil change, brake pads, clutch work, wheel alignment
- What each service package includes, as a simple list
- Pickup and drop charges and the areas you cover
- Workshop timings, weekly off and how long a general service takes
- Which brands and models you handle, and which you do not
- Genuine spare part prices you are happy to share
How it works
Set it up once. It answers every day.
- 1
Type your rate card once
Sign in with Google and claim fad.fyi/yourworkshop. Paste your rate card as text or upload the Excel sheet you already keep. Add question-and-answer pairs for pickup charges and timings. Done in a few minutes.

Stick the QR near the counter
Print the QR code and paste it at the billing counter, on the gate and on your job cards. A customer waiting for a wash scans it and reads what the next service will cost.

Take bookings on WhatsApp
When someone wants a slot or a pickup, the fad shows your WhatsApp button with their message prefilled. You reply with a time between jobs, and nothing is lost in a missed call.
Why it matters
What changes for you
Questions people ask
Spare part prices change often. Will the fad give old prices?
It gives whatever is in your sources, so keep them fresh. Upload the new Excel sheet and delete the old one whenever rates change. For parts that move a lot, write "price on request" in the sheet so the fad asks the customer to confirm on WhatsApp.
Can it tell a customer when their car will be ready?
No. The fad does not see your job board, so it cannot track a particular vehicle. It can explain how long each service normally takes and point the customer to WhatsApp for a live update. That alone removes most "ho gaya kya" calls.
I run a two-wheeler shop only. Is this too much for me?
Not at all. One fad with a short rate card and your timings is enough, and the free plan covers it. Many of your customers already use WhatsApp, so the handover feels natural to them. Setup takes about five minutes on your phone.
Will it quote a price for a repair I never listed?
No, and that is the point. If the repair is not in your sources, the fad says it does not have that price and offers your WhatsApp. You can then quote after seeing the vehicle. The Teach tab shows these questions so you can add answers you are comfortable with.
Do I need a website to use this?
No. Your fad lives at fad.fyi/yourworkshop and opens in any phone browser. Share the link on WhatsApp status, print the QR code for the counter, or add it to your Google Business listing. If you do get a website later, the one-line widget adds the chat there too.
