Automatic capture from declined lines
When a customer approves part of an estimate and declines the rest, every declined line becomes a deferred work item — automatically. No extra steps for the advisor.

Revenue recovery
The average workshop has $8,400 in open deferred work sitting in estimates right now. Workshop Wrench turns every declined line into a recoverable queue — not a sticky note.
The problem
What happens today
The real cost
For a workshop doing 10 cars per week, the average deferred value per car is $840. Over one month that's $8,400 in jobs already written but not yet converted.
With a structured digital follow-up, workshops recover 15–25% of deferred value per quarter. On $8,400 that's $1,260–$2,100 per quarter from work you already identified.

How it works
Technician recommends 4 items. Advisor builds the estimate in Workshop Wrench with line items and photos from the DVI.
Customer approves 2 items and declines 2. Workshop Wrench captures the declined lines instantly into the deferred work queue — nothing falls through the cracks.
Advisor sees the queue, selects a high-value item, clicks send. Customer receives a follow-up with their specific deferred item and a booking link. Job rebooked.
