Part 17
How ChopBot does each step
This course teaches the business; ChopBot does the slow parts of it for you.
| Course step | What you'd do by hand | What ChopBot does |
|---|---|---|
| Find yards (Part 4) | Search yard websites one by one | Finds U-Pull yards near your ZIP |
| Find fresh cars (Part 4) | Check inventory pages every night | Reads yard inventory nightly; car alerts in the app, by email and as phone notifications |
| Decide what to pull (Part 5) | Look up sold prices part by part | Ranks every car by estimated profit and lists the parts worth pulling, with tools and time |
| Know the gate price and warranty (Part 4) | Carry a printed price list, ask at the counter | Your yard's price list built in, core charges included, plus the chain's warranty and return rules |
| Plan the trip and find the cars | Write a list, walk the rows | Splits the day into Trip 1 and Trip 2, plans the shortest walk on a yard map members build together, and points an arrow at the next car; works offline |
| Crew (Part 16) | Text each other | Your crew sees every pull, live, so nobody pulls the same part twice |
| Listing (Part 10) | Type titles and descriptions | Snap to List: ChopBot's AI writes the title, description, item details and a starting price from your photos |
| Sell (Parts 3, 14) | Copy and paste between sites | One tap to post to eBay; copy-ready posts for Facebook Marketplace and buy-sell-trade groups |
| Receipts and returns (Parts 4, 13) | Shoebox of paper | Snap the yard receipt; ChopBot's AI reads it, links it to your parts, counts down each warranty and reminds you before it ends |
| Track profit (Parts 12, 15) | Spreadsheet | Your shelf, sales and real profit part by part, plus a monthly profit dashboard: best parts, best yards, days to sell, aging stock |
| Taxes and mileage (Part 15) | Paper mileage log | Offers to log each yard trip's round-trip miles, adds up sales, fees, costs and miles for the year, and exports it for your tax preparer |
| Questions while you learn (any Part) | Search forums and YouTube | Ask ChopBot: an AI chat that answers from this course, your yard's warranty and price list, and the car you're looking at |
| Mystery parts (Parts 5, 10) | Guess, or post a photo and wait | AI part identifier: snap it, get its name, the part numbers it can read and a link to eBay sold prices |
| Plan each car (Part 5) | Work it out in the row | AI car rundown: worth the walk or not, what to pull first, tools to bring, what to check |
| Parts that sit (Parts 10, 12) | Guess a new price | AI price coach: a suggested price, a better title, photo tips and other places to sell |
ChopBot's profit numbers are estimates from real yard prices and recent eBay sold prices, not guarantees. Always check the exact part number before you pull.
