What the intake decides for you

  • · Bench job at the shop, or Sam comes out to your field
  • · Routine, priority, or grounded — grounded jumps the queue
  • · A real price range and the parts we'll likely need
  • · Three times that actually exist on the technician's day

How a job gets booked

01

Describe the fault

Plain words. “It pulls left and the front-right motor smells hot.” Add a photo or a sound clip.

02

We name it

The intake identifies the likely fault, the service, the parts and a price range — before anyone picks up a phone.

03

Bench or field

Half of the call-outs growers ask for are really bench jobs. We decide honestly and tell you why.

04

Pick a real slot

Three times from the actual schedule. Confirmation, reminders and a prep list arrive on their own.

Why Reybase works this way

Before

  • Text Adam a photo at 9pm, hear back around noon.
  • “I'll check the calendar” — then nothing until evening.
  • No price until someone calls you back.
  • Van drives 40 minutes to a locked shed.

Now

  • Fault named and priced while you're still standing by the drone.
  • Three real times from Jack's bench and Sam's route.
  • Booked in about two minutes, prep list included.
  • Reminders and one-tap reschedule, so nobody drives out for nothing.
