Service Department

Repair Orders to the customer, without the printer

Service is the highest-volume print department in most dealerships. Repair Orders, Tech Hard Cards, and warranty documents are printed all day — most of them just to be scanned and emailed somewhere. PrintSent turns every one of those print jobs into a branded PDF the moment your advisor clicks Print.

01The Problem

Printing just to send it

A customer approves work and wants a copy of the Repair Order. The warranty company needs the RO and supporting documents. The advisor prints the RO to get the logos and formatting right, walks to the printer, scans it back in, emails it to themselves, then forwards it. Multiply that by every RO, every day.

Dealertrack's built-in QPRINT option is designed for quick, text-only output, so it isn't the right fit for anything customer- or warranty-facing. So the printing continues — along with the paper, toner, and the advisor minutes lost walking to the printer instead of selling the next job.

print → walk → scan → email

02The Benefits

What your service team gets

Everything service prints — ROs, hard cards, warranty packets — appears in your portal the moment your advisor clicks Print, ready to view, email, or download.

Repair Orders as instant PDFs

The RO your advisor prints appears as a pixel-perfect, fully branded PDF in the service portal in seconds — ready to view, email to the customer, or download.

Warranty copies, routed automatically

Auto-route Warranty Repair Orders and supporting documents to a dedicated recipient so the warranty submission packet is always in your portal — ready to view, email, or download.

Advisor time back on the drive

No more round-trips to the printer and scanner. Advisors stay at their desk with the customer and view, email, or download the PDF in seconds.

No paper to file

Every RO and Tech Hard Card lands in your portal the moment it prints, ready to email or download wherever it needs to go — without a single sheet of paper, and without anything piling up afterward.

I used to print Tech Hard Cards, walk to the New Car department to scan them on the better scanner, then email myself the PDF to forward to customers. Now I print from Dealertrack and the PDF is right there in our shared portal — I view it, email it to the customer, or download it without leaving my desk. I use it every day.
