Appliance repair is a parts-pricing problem disguised as a service business. The customer's washer dies; the tech needs to know inside ten minutes whether the bearing is $87 or $487, whether the unit's in warranty, whether the manufacturer just issued a recall on this model number. The shop that wins is the one whose pricebook is sliced by brand + model + part SKU and whose customer history holds every appliance's purchase date + serial + warranty terms. PrimeX is built for that lookup speed.
Diagnostic-call scheduling is first-class. The flat-fee diagnostic ($89-$129 typical) goes on the books at booking; if the customer authorizes the repair, the diagnostic credits toward the total. If they decline, the diagnostic stands alone. PrimeX handles both paths on one work order — no "did the diagnostic credit get applied?" reconciliation at month end.
Parts pricing by brand + model is the margin lever. Your pricebook organizes by manufacturer (Whirlpool, GE, LG, Samsung, Bosch, Sub-Zero, Wolf), then by appliance category (washer, dryer, refrigerator, dishwasher), then by part. Prime auto-suggests the right part when the tech logs the symptom — bearing failure on a Whirlpool front-loader pulls up the bearing kit + tool fee + estimated labor hours from your historical average for that exact repair. Quote ships from the customer's kitchen counter inside 90 seconds.
Manufacturer warranty + recall tracking is the long-tail revenue. Every appliance you've serviced (or that the customer reported during the diagnostic) is logged on the customer profile with brand + model + serial + purchase date + warranty terms. When a manufacturer issues a recall, Prime queries the install history across your entire customer base and surfaces affected units sorted by customer value + recall severity. What used to be a manufacturer-letter-buried-in-a-pile becomes a proactive customer-service outreach + revenue moment.
