Blue Collar Parts turns each service you perform into a record your customer can open: what was found, what was fixed, and who did the work. Getting started takes an account, one customer, and one piece of equipment. This page walks through the first session.
1. Create your account
- Open Create an account. The page reads Sign in or create an account.
- Start with Google, or choose Or use your email, enter your Email and a Password that meets the rules shown under the field, and press Create account.
- Check your inbox and confirm your email. The Confirm your email screen has a Resend confirmation email button if the message does not arrive.

2. Set up your first customer
A brand-new account opens a short guided setup titled Set up your first customer. It has four steps, and you can skip any of them and come back later:
- Add a customer: the business or person you do the work for.
- Add an asset: the truck, trailer, generator, or marine engine you service.
- See the record: a preview of what your customer will receive.
- Add to calendar: put the visit on your own calendar.
When you finish, You're set up offers Start from a customer or Start from an asset.
3. Do the first job
From there the work follows the same path every time: start a service event, record the service, mark the work complete, and send the record to your customer.
Starting and completing work is free. You pay only when you send a record, and the price is shown on the button before you pay.
