Abstract: A system and method are described that allow a customer to shop on-line for service businesses that will repair a vehicle. The system provides an input screen that captures information relating to the vehicle needing service and transmits that data to service businesses. The service businesses respond to the transmitted data by forwarding an estimate for the repair work to the system. A custom Internet page that displays all of the estimates is developed by the system and a link to that page is emailed to the customer.
