# Hydraulic Repair — Booking & Missed-Call Recovery

*Booking and yard-call intake for hydraulic shops. Quote-request form captures bore, stroke, and photos before you roll a truck.*

## Hydraulic Repair (Sun Belt)

Hydraulic repair lives in the gap between machine shop, mobile yard call, and parts counter. A GC calling about a leaking cylinder on a CAT loader needs three things: ballpark on time, the measurements you need, and a tech roll that doesn't blow Tuesday. A booking system with a quote-request form (specs, photos, location) plus a calendar that lets him pick Tuesday afternoon does that without a phone call.

The mix of intake paths matters: walk-ins with hose assemblies (instant ticket), ship-in cylinder rebuilds (track-the-job link), mobile yard calls (location + photos + ETA confirmation). Redline Revenue's Defense System models all three. Tickets: cylinder rebuild $1,800–$3,500; skid steer hydraulic pump $4,200; dump trailer hoist reseal $2,400.

## Pain points

- Cylinder rebuild quote needs bore size, stroke, and rod diameter — voicemail captures none of it
- Mobile yard call for a leaking pump on a Cat loader and the GC needs an ETA in 15 minutes
- Hose assembly walk-in customers don't book — but they pile up while you're under a tractor
- Insurance work on a damaged dump trailer hydraulic system needs photos, codes, and a sealed quote

## Why a booking system matters

Hydraulic repair lives in the gap between machine shop, mobile call, and parts counter — and that gap eats unbooked work. A GC calling about a leaking cylinder on a CAT loader needs three things from you: a ballpark on time, a list of measurements he needs to send, and a tech roll that doesn't blow Tuesday. A booking system with a quote-request form (specs, photos, location) plus a calendar that lets him pick Tuesday afternoon does that without a single phone call. The shops still answering the phone for every measurement question are losing 30 hours a week to the desk.
The mix of shop work and yard calls is what makes hydraulic shops tricky. You need different intake paths: one for walk-ins with hose assemblies (instant ticket), one for ship-in cylinder rebuilds (track-the-job link), one for mobile yard calls (location + photos + ETA confirmation). Generic auto-shop tools don't model this. A custom-built booking flow does — and that's the difference between a $400K shop and a $1.2M shop.
Tickets are excellent if you don't drop the ball on intake. A hydraulic cylinder rebuild is $1,800–$3,500 depending on bore. A pump replacement on a skid steer is $4,200. A full reseal of a dump trailer hoist is $2,400. The customers don't care about price — they care about getting the machine back. Capture them right and you'll never have a slow week.

## Ticket examples

- Hydraulic cylinder rebuild (3.5" bore × 24") — $2,400
- Skid steer hydraulic pump — $4,200
- Dump trailer hoist reseal — $2,400
- Hose assembly walk-in (per assembly) — $85

## Caller types we capture

- GCs with hydraulic-leaking equipment on active sites
- ag operators with bad cylinders on planters or harvesters
- rental yard coordinators with damaged returns
- trailer fleet operators with PTO/hoist failures
