Auto repair, towing and detailing
The car comes in for a noise. The noise turns out to be four hundred dollars more than the estimate, the customer is at work, and the only thing standing between you and a chargeback is whether they said yes somewhere you can find.
Not a feature list. These are the three moments this exists for.
The service writer remembers the customer approving the extra work. The customer remembers no such thing. Neither of them can prove it, and the card processor has already decided whose problem that is.
The customer is in a meeting, the technician is standing at a lift, and the bay is worth money. Waiting for a callback is the most expensive thing that happens in the shop all week.
Storage runs, calls go unanswered, and the paperwork you need to do something about it is the paperwork nobody filled in at drop-off.
The authorization goes to their phone with the work and the amount already written in. They read it at a desk, sign it in thirty seconds, and the technician carries on.
Not a verbal on top of a verbal. A new amount is a new document with its own signature, its own timestamp and its own record of what was shown.
Condition and photographs at intake, and a release signed by whoever actually collects the vehicle — which is not always the person who left it.
Setup asks what you do. Answer "auto repair, towing and detailing" and these are waiting as drafts, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit them, or paste what you already use.
A starter, not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check. A note left in the text holds the document at send until somebody has.

Written estimates, overage limits, the notice a supplemental needs and whether an oral approval counts at all are set by statute and differ everywhere, and so do mechanic lien and uncollected vehicle procedures. The starter documents mark those places for an attorney rather than inventing a number that happens to be wrong in your state.
If you are on this list, the words above are your words.
A signature captured this way carries what the person was shown, when, from what device and network, and that they meant to approve it — which is considerably more than a note in a work order saying the customer agreed. Whether your state requires something specific in an estimate is a separate question, and the starter marks it.
Yes, through the API. The document is built with the repair order, the vehicle and the amount already in it, so the customer reads their own car and their own number rather than a blank form.
The authorization records who authorised the work and on what basis — owner, insurer or a third party — which is the question that gets asked when the payment does not arrive.
It gives you the signed record of the terms, the notice period and the storage rate, which is where the statutory process starts. The process itself is set by your state and the starter says so rather than pretending a signature short-circuits it.
