I cracked my side mirror backing out of my own garage. Instead of calling 8 shops, I let an AI make the calls — here's how it actually went

Peak Monday: I clipped my driver-side mirror on the garage wall pulling out too fast. Housing cracked, glass just hanging there. Ordered the replacement part online no problem — but then came the part I actually dread, finding a shop to install it. Which means calling around, getting put on hold, repeating "2026 Grand Wagoneer, driver side, I already have the part" to a bunch of places to compare price and availability. Full disclosure up front so nobody feels tricked: I built the app I used (it's called Sooner, still in beta). I'm posting because this was the first time it genuinely saved me time on something annoying, not because I'm trying to run an ad. Mods, if this breaks the rules just yank it. Anyway — I opened it and typed one line: driver side, I have the part. It asked the couple of questions a normal service writer would (glass or full assembly, sourcing the part or not), then it called eight local shops at the same time while I made coffee. No hold music for me, no repeating myself eight times. Few minutes later I had a ranked shortlist. Winner was a 5-star place a couple miles away — $200 to install my own mirror, open the next morning at 10. It even told me the quotes across the 8 calls spread by about $50 and said it pushed for the better end. Backup was another shop at $150 (4.9 stars). Tapped once, booked. Next morning: friendly shop, quick job, mirror good as new, no surprises on the bill and even offered me a free oil change. The thing that stuck with me: the whole "cracked mirror → booked appointment" took less time than a single one of those calls usually does. Curious if anyone else would actually use something like this, or if you'd rather just make the calls yourself. Genuinely want to know where it'd fall short. TL;DR: broke my mirror, an AI called 8 shops at once, booked a 5-star place for $200 the next morning. I built the app, so grain of salt — but it worked.
