{"faqs":[{"answer":"We review your estimate history for free and segment the old quotes that never became jobs by recency. Then we reconnect with those customers using a fresh angle — a revised estimate or a simple check-in — through calls, texts, and emails in your shop's name, every message approved by you first. Replies route back into your booking process so estimates turn into scheduled work.","question":"How does old quote follow-up work for a direct repair program auto body shop?"},{"answer":"No. This campaign targets customer-pay estimates, not insurer-referred work, and every script, offer, and message is approved by you before anything is sent. We work only from lists of real customers, honor opt-outs immediately, and follow all calling and texting regulations — so your DRP standing and compliance posture stay intact.","question":"Will this interfere with my DRP relationships or insurer KPIs?"},{"answer":"No. There is no software to buy or learn. We work from a CRM, spreadsheet, or point-of-sale list exactly as it is, and replies route into your existing booking process. The campaign management fee is folded into the plan, and texts and emails are not billed separately.","question":"Do I need new software or a CRM integration to get started?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies coming in as soon as the first wave goes out. It starts with the free list review, where you'll know your rate, setup, and what your list can produce before spending a dollar.","question":"How long does an old estimate follow-up campaign take from start to booked jobs?"},{"answer":"Reactivating a customer is roughly 5x cheaper than acquiring a new one, and ~of revenue often comes from repeat customers. Your old estimates are a list of people who already know and chose your shop — permissioned reactivation of known customers, not cold outreach to strangers.","question":"Why not just run ads or buy leads to fill the shop instead?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Send us your estimate history or point-of-sale list as-is.

Repairable claims dropped 10.4% through August 2025 compared to the prior year, while total loss frequency reached 22.8%, on pace for a second consecutive record.
