How Shadetree Works

  1. Inquiry: Customer messages you → copy phone into Shadetree

  2. Self-Service Link: Auto-filled form sent via text. Customer fills out everything (address, car, problem)

  3. Ticket Created: Dashboard alert for pending job

  4. Job Review: Review customer input, send estimate

  5. On-Site: Check-in to log time, update ticket if needed

  6. Payment: One-click invoice sent via text for customer to pay
