56 How Auto Repair and Maintenance Merchants Can Use WeiCity: From Service Showcase to Vehicle Owner Bookings

From showcasing services to vehicle owner appointments

"Do you offer regular maintenance?"

"There is an abnormal noise when the car starts. Can you check it?"

"Do I need an appointment to replace parts?"

"About how long does a repair take?"

"Can I first find out the inspection and quotation process?"

When looking for repair and maintenance services, vehicle owners usually first want to know what a workshop can handle, what vehicle information they need to provide, and how inspection, quotation, and repair are arranged.

💡 With WeiCity, you can set up your own repair service channel and organize your service items, vehicle drop-off process, and appointment methods, so vehicle owners can learn about your services first and then contact you to confirm a suitable arrangement.

✅ Repairer for specific brands or models

You can organize them by service type:

💡 Make service names as specific as possible, and explain which items require inspecting the vehicle before they can be confirmed.

Recommended to specify:

✅ Service item name

✅ Vehicle types or brand range that can be handled

✅ Inspections or operations included in the service

✅ Whether an appointment is required

✅ How the estimated time is confirmed

✅ Whether the fee is fixed, charged per item, or quoted after inspection

🔶 Example: Introduction to regular maintenance service

Service scope: List items based on what the shop actually provides.

Applicable vehicles: Explain the target services or any restrictions.

Appointment information: Provide the vehicle brand, model, year, and mileage.

Fee confirmation: If quotes depend on the vehicle model and actual condition, explain this in advance.

Scheduling: Contact the shop to confirm available time slots and the time required.

📌 Maintenance items, parts, and labor hours may vary by vehicle model and should be confirmed based on vehicle information and actual inspection results.

1️⃣ Vehicle brand and model

Helps the shop preliminarily confirm vehicle information.

2️⃣ Year of manufacture and mileage

Helps understand how the vehicle has been used.

3️⃣ Problems to be checked

Describe unusual noises, warning lights, or other observable symptoms.

4️⃣ When and under what circumstances the problem occurs

For example, during a cold start, while driving, or when using a specific function.

5️⃣ Photo of dashboard warning lights

If there are warning lights, a photo helps the shop understand the situation preliminarily.

6️⃣ Preferred drop-off date

Makes it easier to check the shop's schedule.

📌 Symptoms described by vehicle owners can help with preliminary communication, but cannot replace on-site inspection or fault diagnosis.

It is recommended to prepare:

🔹 Shop exterior and entrance

Helps vehicle owners find the repair location.

🔹 Repair bays and equipment

Shows the actual service environment and equipment.

🔹 Technicians at work

If people appear in the photo, obtain their consent first.

🔹 Service item details

Show actual operations for tire, battery, or other repair items.

🔹 Before and after maintenance records

If used to showcase cases, make sure the information is accurate and obtain the vehicle owner's permission.

🔹 Drop-off or pickup location

Helps new customers understand how vehicles enter the shop.

📌 Before publishing license plates, registration documents, repair orders, or vehicle owner information, cover identifiable personal information and obtain necessary authorization.

You can introduce it step by step:

1️⃣ Vehicle owner describes the vehicle situation

Provide vehicle information, the symptoms, and contact details.

2️⃣ Shop confirms the appointment

Arrange a drop-off time or preliminary consultation.

3️⃣ Inspect the vehicle

Confirm which items need to be handled based on the actual condition.

4️⃣ Explain repair content and fees

Review the quote, parts, and estimated time with the vehicle owner.

5️⃣ Arrange repairs after the vehicle owner confirms

Proceed only with the items the owner clearly agrees to have repaired.

6️⃣ Contact the owner for pickup after completion

Explain payment, vehicle handover, and how to follow up.

💡 Explain "initial inquiry," "inspection and quote," and "repair confirmation" separately so vehicle owners understand each step.

📌 Vehicle conditions should be judged after inspection by repair staff. Online photos or descriptions cannot guarantee an accurate diagnosis or quote.

Recommended to specify:

✅ Whether the inspection fee is charged separately

✅ Repair items covered by the quote

✅ Parts are OEM, aftermarket, or other types (explain according to actual situation)

✅ Whether pre-ordering is required

✅ How labor and material costs are calculated

✅ How additional problems found during service are communicated

✅ Whether after-sales arrangements are provided for repair items

✅ Payment methods and pickup process

🔶 For example:

"The final fee will be calculated based on the vehicle inspection results, required parts, and the repair items confirmed. Before repairs begin, we will confirm the quote and scope of work with you."

📌 Parts inventory, prices, and repair times may change and should be confirmed again before repairs are scheduled.

You can organize the following in the channel:

🔹 Contact the shop before booking

🔹 Bring vehicle keys and relevant documents

🔹 Explain recent repairs or parts replacements

🔹 Remove valuables and personal items

🔹 Tell the shop whether a spare key is available or if there are special handling requirements

🔹 If the vehicle cannot be driven, contact the shop first to confirm towing arrangements

🔹 After repairs are completed, pick up the vehicle as instructed by the shop

📌 If the vehicle has a condition that affects safe driving, stop in a safe place first and contact appropriate roadside assistance or professionals.
