Mobile Mechanic
The invoice is done before you drive away.
When the shop is a van, paperwork piles up for the weekend.
A Day with Sitefold
An example day at Roadready Mobile Auto, a made-up business. The steps are real; the names are not.
- 8:00 am
A driver books a no-start diagnosis from your website. Her car is sitting in her apartment lot.
- 9:15 am
You test the battery and starter on site and send the estimate from your phone. She approves it with one tap.
- 9:40 am
The starter is not on the van, so the job moves to Waiting on parts and the return visit goes on the calendar.
- Next day
Starter in, invoice out. She pays by card before you leave, and it is already in QuickBooks.

What You Would Turn On
Estimates built from your parts, labor rates and trip fees, approved online.
Psst, this is just level one. Turn on more whenever you are ready. Every piece hands its work to the next, so the busywork keeps shrinking the longer you use it.

Already Have a System?
What Sitefold can take off your plate
You may already use Jobber, Shopmonkey or paper tickets to keep track of repairs. Sitefold does that too, and also gives you a website, turns service requests into jobs, keeps every part with your cost and price and sends the invoice from the driveway.
What it saves you: One login in the driveway instead of a shop app, an invoice app and a website.

A Real Build
BAM Trailer Repair
A mobile trailer repair company that comes to the trailer, wherever it is parked. Jobs used to get written down at the trailer and turned into invoices on the weekend, hours of it. Now their parts and prices are already loaded, so the invoice is built at the job site before they drive away, and it goes to QuickBooks without retyping.
Visit bamtrailerrepair.comQuestions
Can I keep track of jobs waiting on parts?
Yes. The job board starts with a Waiting on parts column, so a diagnosed job stays in view until you come back to finish it.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. The back office runs in your phone browser, so you can quote, schedule and invoice from the truck.
