Quotes and Fuel Requirements

To access and respond to quote requests, you need Fuel credits in your account.

Why Fuel Is Required

Quotes are valuable leads — potential customers actively seeking your services. Fuel ensures you're set up for success with Fixly's full feature set.

What Happens Without Fuel

If your Fuel balance is zero:

  • Quote requests are still captured

  • You'll see a "locked" overlay on the Quotes page

  • Add Fuel to unlock and respond
  • Unlocking Quotes

  • Go to Billing in the app

  • Click Add Fuel

  • Purchase any Fuel pack

  • Return to Quotes — they're now accessible
  • Fuel Isn't Charged for Quotes

    Important: Viewing and responding to quotes is free. Fuel is only used when:

  • A job is booked (1 Fuel)

  • A referral job comes in (50 Fuel)
  • The Fuel requirement ensures your account is active and ready to handle bookings.

    Tips for Managing Quotes

  • Respond quickly — within 1 hour if possible

  • Keep a small Fuel balance to stay unlocked

  • Enable auto-refill to never lose access
