Parijat Software got talking to the owner of an auto repair shop, who had an annoying problem…

He gets a lot of emails asking for quotes, but most don’t include complete vehicle information. He only checks emails at night after work, so if info is missing, he just replies asking for details. Then he has to wait until the next evening to send the actual quote. He said he loses a lot of customers because of that delay.

So Parijat set up a “simple n8n automation” that…

• Watches for new emails asking for quotes
• Sends the owner an SMS if the email has full vehicle info
• Auto-replies asking for missing details if info is incomplete
• Notifies the owner via SMS when the missing info is received

Pricing

this is our first job for auto repair domain so fee is not that high.. $500 for setup and $50/mo for hosting, support/maintenance…

It only took a few hours to build. Been running for a couple weeks and he says it’s already helped him a lot.

For automation folks, this might be another niche to sell automation.

I reckon every small business has several inefficiencies along those lines that a simple n8n or Make automation could solve
