# Appliance Repair Software Every appliance repair shop runs the same three-step workflow: diagnostic fee, parts order, callback. The right **appliance repair software** runs all three without a spreadsheet, a whiteboard, or a dropped follow-up. ## Step 1 — Diagnostic fee on visit one Your appliance repair software should default every service call to a diagnostic fee (usually $89-$129), collected on-site the moment the tech identifies the failed component. Payment clears via Apple Pay / SMS pay-link before the tech leaves the driveway. ## Step 2 — Parts order against your distributor The mobile app searches your parts catalog for the failed component (compressor, control board, drain pump, ice maker, door boot), places the order against your Marcone / Reliable / 1st Source account, and locks in the ETA. Zero data re-entry. ## Step 3 — Auto-scheduled callback The callback visit auto-books for the parts-ETA date, the customer gets an SMS confirmation, and the tech's route for that day already has the callback slotted. If the part arrives early or late, the calendar auto-reflows and re-notifies the customer. ## Warranty coverage tied to the appliance Every serviced appliance carries brand, model, serial, install date, and manufacturer warranty window on its timeline. A repeat call in year one auto-flags as a covered warranty job, and appliance repair software worth its price auto-generates the manufacturer claim packet (labor, parts, photo evidence, service report). ## Per-brand parts kits on the truck Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, GE, Bosch, Sub-Zero — each brand has its common-fail parts kit preloaded in the mobile app so the tech knows what to carry. ## Try Service Pro Suite Diagnostic-fee capture, parts-order integration, callback auto-scheduling, and warranty claim packets all ship in the base plan.
