PDR work moves faster than office software usually does
A mobile PDR technician can touch several vehicles for one dealership, then leave for a retail job, then come back to another account the next day. The administrative problem is keeping each vehicle, price and authorization attached to the right account without slowing down the actual repair work.
Texts and paper route sheets are fast in the moment but weak later, especially when a manager asks which dents were approved or accounting wants to know which stock number belongs to an invoice line. Underhood Go is built to create that record while you are already at the vehicle.
From lot walk to invoice without rebuilding the week
- 1
Log each vehicle under the right account
Keep dealership vehicles grouped under the dealer while retail work stays with the individual customer.
- 2
Record the service and price at the car
Capture what is being repaired while the vehicle is in front of you instead of relying on a handwritten list to become an invoice later.
- 3
Group dealer approvals
Present several proposed jobs together when a dealer manager wants to approve a batch rather than handling a separate conversation for every vehicle.
- 4
Keep authorization attached to the job
Use a digital approval or on-site signature so the record of what was authorized stays beside the vehicle and service it applies to.
- 5
Turn completed work into billing
Invoice from the work already recorded instead of reconstructing stock numbers, prices and completed jobs at the end of the week.
Useful for the way independent PDR businesses actually operate
- Dealer and retail accounts in one phone-first workflow.
- Multiple vehicle jobs under the same dealership relationship.
- Grouped approvals for batches of dealer work.
- On-site signatures or remote approval links.
- Invoices and Stripe or Square payment links from the field.
- No repair-shop bay workflow or per-seat pricing to work around.
Focused on business workflow, not dent estimating databases
Underhood Go is not a hail estimating matrix or an insurer-specific estimating platform. It is designed around the operating side of independent PDR work: accounts, vehicles, jobs, approvals, signatures, invoicing and payment. A hail-heavy operation that depends on specialized estimating data may still need a dedicated estimating tool beside it.
