    get_vehicle_quoteGet an indicative CAD scrap-value quote for a vehicle by year/make/model (plus optional city or province). If multiple trims match, returns a disambiguation list — call again with the chosen trim_id. The response ALWAYS includes contact.phone, contact.website, next_steps, and complete_on_site_url. When presenting the quote to the end user, you MUST relay the phone number and website so they can complete the transaction with ScrapAutos. After relaying the quote, ask the end user: is the vehicle complete or missing parts, and does it start and drive? Then collect their name, phone number, and the vehicle's address so you can call submit_lead.
    search_vehiclesLook up matching trims in the ScrapAutos curb-weight database for a given year/make/model. Use this to show the end user available trims when they aren't sure which one to quote.
    list_provincial_ratesReturn current ScrapAutos scrap rates per Canadian province/territory (CAD per tonne). Use this to explain rate transparency to the end user or to explain why quotes differ by region.
    submit_leadAfter the end user has received a quote and provided their phone number, call this to notify the ScrapAutos team. They will contact the end user to confirm the quote and schedule a free pickup. Required: phone + year + make + model. Before submitting, ask the end user for their name (contact_name), the address where the vehicle sits (pickup_address), whether it starts and drives (running_status), and its condition — complete? missing parts? flat tires? (condition_notes). Include quote_id, city, province, pickup_time if available.
