Overview

Drivly’s Mechanical Repair API simplifies the complex process of managing mechanical repairs, offering a straightforward solution for obtaining quotes and placing orders.

Workflows

The Mechanical Repair API facilitates two primary functions, Quote Repair and Order Repair for all mechanical repair types.

Quote Mechanical Repair

To obtain a quote for Mechanical Repair services, you will need to provide the following information:
Create Quote
{
  "type": "mechanical-repair",
  "vin": "WP0AF2A99KS165242",
  "items": [
    // An Array of fault items, you can find
    // these in the vehicle's inspection report
    "fault_EbaCojKxsJL"
  ]
}
Example Response
{
  "id": "quote_sf7Y7c",
  "status": "awaiting-payment",
  "estimatedTime": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z",
  "checkoutLink": "https://checkout.driv.ly/quote_sf7Y7c",
  "paid": false,
  "total": 350,
  "items": [
    {
      "service": "mechanical-repair",
      "price": 350,
      "name": "Brake Repair for WP0AF2A99KS165242",
      "description": "fault_EbaCojKxsJL",
      "quantity": 1
    }
  ]
}
Upon payment, a service order will be generated with all pertinent details and an estimated completion time. Progress of the service order can be monitored using webhooks, ensuring timely updates throughout the mechanical repair process.

Order Mechanical Repair

Place orders for mechanical repair services, ensuring vehicles are quickly brought up to your standards.
Creating a service order for mechanical repair services allows you to schedule, and pay for the service directly. This will create a service order which can be used to track progress and monitor costs.
For service orders, attaching a deal is highly recommended as this will allow you to keep all pending invoices in one place. The final invoice for the deal will include this order, but is rolled up into the total cost of the deal.
Create Order
{
  "type": "mechanical-repair",
  "items": [
    // An Array of fault items, you can find
    // these in the vehicle's inspection report
    "fault_EbaCojKxsJL"
  ],
  "vin": "WP0AF2A99KS165242",
  "deal": "deal_8f7Y7c" // Optional, but recommended
}
Example Response
{
  "id": "order_PUjabSbTExm1Ac",
  "deal": "deal_8f7Y7c",
  "status": "pending",
  "estimatedTime": "2024-01-01T12:00:00Z",
  "receiptLink": "https://checkout.driv.ly/order_PUjabSbTExm1Ac",
  "paid": true, // Will always be true for a service order
  "total": 350,
  "items": [

      "service": "mechanical-repair",
      "price": 350,
      "name": "Brake Repair for WP0AF2A99KS165242",

    }
  ]
