7 ways to speed up your repair shop's intake

Why intake speed matters

The first five minutes of a repair set the tone for the whole job. A fast, accurate intake means fewer mistakes, happier customers and a cleaner hand-off to your technicians.

7 ways to speed it up

1. Use a consistent intake form for every device — model, condition, passcode, accessories.
2. Photograph the device at drop-off so there are no disputes later.
3. Capture the customer once and reuse their profile on repeat visits.
4. Quote common repairs from a catalog instead of typing prices each time.
5. Print or text a tracking link so customers self-serve status updates.
6. Set an estimated ready date up front to manage expectations.
7. Automate the “ready for pickup” message so nobody falls through the cracks.
