Tire Quote Window

The Tire Quote window contains many options that enable you to find the tires you want faster and easier than ever before. This window also displays an extensive amount of information about the tires retrieved.

There are several parts of the Tire Quote window:

• Title Bar
• Menus
• Search Tires Section
• Vehicle Section
• Search Results Table
• Information Below the Search Results
• Right Column
  • This information appears after a search has been performed and a tire is selected in the list.

If you re-size the Tire Quote window, that setting saves when you close Tire Quote. The next time you open Tire Quote, the window will be the size it was the last time you closed Tire Quote.

Title Bar

The title bar always displays “Tire Quote” to identify the application. What appears after “Tire Quote” depends on how you opened Tire Quote and then how you search.

When Opened Alone

When Tire Quote is opened alone, the area after “Tire Quote” is blank until you search by tire size or by vehicle.

If you search by size, “Search for Size: [tire size]” displays:

If you search by vehicle, “Search for Size: [tire size]” displays as well, but the size is the one selected for the vehicle.

When Opened from a Ticket

When Tire Quote is accessed from an open ticket, that ticket number - quote, estimate, or repair order number - always appears just after “Tire Quote”.

What appears after the ticket number depends on how you search.

If you search by vehicle, “Search for Size: [tire size]” displays, but the size is the one selected for the vehicle.

If you search by size, “Search for Size: [tire size]” displays.
