Talk the Quote. Do Not Write It.
The quote has sat for three days because you do not want to write the email, not because you do not know the number. Say it out loud once and get a sendable estimate back.

In plain terms: Talk the quote. Don't write it. Say it out loud once. Get the email back.
The quote that has sat three days.
You know the number. You knew it in the driveway. What you do not want is the twenty minutes of turning it into a polite email.
So it waits. And the customer calls someone else.
The move: press the mic inside the app and just talk.
The exact words to use
Copy this, paste it into ChatGPT, and add your own material underneath it.
I am going to talk through a quote. Turn it into a short professional estimate email. Keep every number exactly as I say it. Do not add any line item I did not say. End with the clear next step.
Use the mic button inside ChatGPT. Uploading a voice memo file does not work on the free plan.
What comes back
A sendable email, while you're driving.
Rambling in, structured out. The pricing is yours. The paragraph you were dreading is not yours to write.
The one thing to watch
Read the numbers before you send. It will not invent a price, but it can mishear one, and 4,500 and 400 sound closer than you think.
The job was done. Only the email wasn't.
Now it is.
This is part of 5 Minutes With ChatGPT, a short series of things a busy owner can actually do today. Every one of them works on the free version, uses something you already have, and takes about five minutes.
If you would rather the work just happened without you doing it at all, that is what the systems are for.
