The Text That Says the Keys Are at the Counter
Customers check their phone, not your hold queue. Tell them the vehicle is ready, then use the same list to bring them back.
No Credit Card Required
Ready for Pickup, Then the Next Visit
The most useful text a shop sends is four words and a name: your F-150 is ready. RepairPortal sends it when the advisor says the bay is clear.
The same opted-in list carries the reminders that fill next month: oil due, state inspection, RV winterization, and boat spring commissioning.
- Ready for PickupName the vehicle. People with two cars in the household need to know which one.
- Service RemindersOil, inspections, winterization, and commissioning, sent to people who already trust the shop.
- Fill a Slow TuesdayTwo open bays is a text, not a hope that the phone rings.
- Opt Out on Every MessageCustomers join from the site or the counter, and every text tells them how to stop.

Ready Text FAQ
Do you sell the phone list?
No. The list belongs to the shop. Messages include a way to opt out.
Can we email instead of text?
Yes. The same customers can get email, text, or both.
Is this only for cars?
The ready text names whatever you repaired: a truck, a fifth wheel, an outboard, or a trailer.
Ready to Fill the Next Open Bay?
Auto repair is featured. RV, ATV, boat, motorcycle, diesel, and trailer shops use the same dashboard.
