Create a Service Location
Service Locations control where your team works and what services customers can request in each region. Setting these up correctly keeps requests accurate, improves technician dispatching, and prevents your team from receiving jobs outside your service range. It also ensures customers only see the repair types you actually offer in their area.
Who this is for
Admins or shop owners who manage where the business provides service and what repair types are available in each area.

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely Cause | Fix | Prevent |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customers are seeing repair types you don’t offer in that area | Wrong repair types assigned | Edit the Service Location and deselect unneeded repair types | Review repair types for each new location |
| Service Location not appearing in customer request flow | Service Location missing required details | Ensure name, address, and radius are filled in | Double-check before saving |
| Techs receiving jobs outside service range | Radius set too large | Edit radius to a realistic number | Set radius based on travel time and tech count |
| Duplicate Service Locations | Multiple admins created similar areas | Merge or delete duplicates | Standardize naming conventions (e.g., North / South / East / West) |
FAQs
Can I edit a Service Location after I create it?
Yes. Open any Service Location and update address, radius, or repair types at any time.
Do customers see every Service Location?
No. They only see the one that applies to their address or the area they select.
Can a repair type belong to multiple locations?
Yes. You can assign repair types across as many Service Locations as needed.
What happens if I delete a Service Location?
It will no longer appear in the request hub, and any jobs tied to it will retain history but won’t route to that area anymore.
