Quickstart

This walks through the lifecycle of a single job, end to end.

1. Create a job​

From the dashboard, click New Job, search for the customer (or create one), and add their vehicle.

2. Run the DVI​

Open the job and start a Digital Vehicle Inspection. Walk through each checklist item, attaching photos where flagged.

# Example: pulling a job's DVI status via the API
curl https://api.thegarageos.com/v1/jobs/JOB_ID/dvi \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

3. Send the quote​

Findings from the DVI feed directly into a quote. Approve line items, mark insurance-covered items, and send to the customer for approval.

4. Track on the bay floor​

Once approved, the job moves to In Progress and appears on the Bay Floor View. Technicians update status as they go.

5. Deliver and invoice​

Mark the job Ready for Pickup to trigger the customer notification. Invoicing splits automatically between customer and insurer based on the quote.
