Stop Losing Collision Leads to Slow Response Times
We build high-converting websites for body shops that automate estimate scheduling and sync with your production workflow to reduce phone calls and increase capture rates.
In the collision industry, the first shop to respond to an estimate request usually wins the $4,500 repair. Most shops lose revenue because estimators are buried in supplements or negotiating with adjusters on CCC ONE, leaving incoming leads to rot in a generic contact form. Furthermore, your office staff spends up to 20% of their day answering 'Is my car ready?' calls, which disrupts production flow and delays vehicle delivery.
Read Laboratories bridges the gap between your digital presence and your shop floor. We build sites that integrate with tools like BodyShop Booster and ProgiParts to ensure your intake is seamless. By automating the initial photo-upload process and providing self-service status portals, we help you maintain DRP compliance and OEM certification standards while freeing your team to focus on cycle time and paint booth throughput.
Problems We Solve
Endless Status Update Calls
Automated repair status portals integrated with your management system reduce inbound calls by up to 40%, allowing front-office staff to focus on supplements.

Insurance Supplement Delays
Streamlined photo documentation portals for customers ensure your estimators have the data needed to file supplements in Mitchell or Audatex faster.
Rental Car Friction
Integrated scheduling for Enterprise or Hertz local branches within your booking flow ensures customers aren't stranded when they drop off their vehicle.
OEM Certification Visibility
