This document describes how digital vehicle inspections can boost productivity and revenue for auto shops. It outlines the drawbacks of traditional paper inspections and how digital inspections address these issues by being faster, more flexible, and providing a professional look. Digital inspections integrate with shop management systems to measure technician effectiveness, provide service history and recommendations, and generate reports on shop performance. Setting up digital inspections requires a $149 setup fee but provides benefits like flexible inspection sheets, images, and integration with other systems to improve customer service and shop operations.
