To check my auto repair quote request status, run Servik's get_lead tool from /tools or /chat with the lead ID you received when the lead was created. It shows the lead's status and which of the 3–5 notified shops responded. For agent-relay leads, it also returns the shop's messages.
You sent the request. Now comes the waiting, and waiting without knowing is the worst part. The check takes a minute, and it tells you plainly where things stand. This post is a walkthrough of the flow as the tool contract defines it, not a live result: no lead was created or checked for this post, so there is no lead ID, status, or shop message to show.
When your lead was created, you received a lead ID. Keep it — it is the only input get_lead needs, and it is how you check back on the request later.
Call get_lead with that lead ID, from /tools or /chat. The tool returns the lead's status and the outcome of the offers sent to the 3–5 matching shops that were notified — which shops took the lead up and which did not.
A walked-through example, not a live result: a brake lead for ZIP 23059, timing this week, created through /chat. Checking it shows whether shops have responded yet and what the offer outcomes are. No contact details appear in the result — they are never returned to you in the response, because the tool is for checking status, not for re-reading private information.
If your lead used the agent-relay option — no phone or email shared — get_lead also returns the shop message thread. The chat polls it and reads new shop messages to you, so you can answer in the chat and have your reply relayed back to the shop.
Once a shop responds with a quote, compare it against Servik's typical range and ask for an itemized breakdown before approving work. If no shop has responded yet, wait and check again — or call the top local shops directly from /get-quotes while you wait.
Checking a lead is free. The repair price is whatever the responding shop quotes: brake pad replacement typically runs $200–$400 per axle, and pads plus rotors typically run $400–$700 per axle. If a quote lands far outside that range, ask the shop for an itemized breakdown before you approve anything.
If the job is urgent — grinding brakes, a soft pedal, or a warning light — do not wait on the lead alone. Check the status once, then call the top-ranked local shops directly from the list on /get-quotes. A phone call gets an answer faster than a lead queue.
Pass your lead ID to get_lead from /tools or /chat. It returns the lead's status and the offer outcomes. That is all you need.
No. Contact details stay hidden — they are never in the response, and are revealed only to the shop that paid to unlock the lead.
A lead created without sharing a phone or email. Messages travel through the chat instead: get_lead returns the shop's messages, the chat reads them to you, and your replies go back through post_lead_message.
Check again later — shops respond on their own schedule. For an urgent job, call the top local shops directly while you wait; their numbers are on /get-quotes.
