Walk around the vehicle with your tablet or phone, snap photos and jot notes across eight industry-standard categories, and generate a clean, professional PDF — printed on the spot or emailed in one click. No more "trust me, it needs brakes."
8 Industry-Standard Inspection Categories
Why It Matters
Customers say yes a lot faster when they can actually see what you saw. A photo-documented inspection turns a verbal recommendation into evidence — and it becomes part of that vehicle's permanent record, not a sticky note that gets thrown away.
A photo of the worn pad or the leaking hose answers that question before they even ask it.
Paper checklists get lost, smudged, or left in the car. A digital inspection can't disappear from a clipboard.
Every past inspection lives in the customer's profile, so you can compare condition visit over visit.
Built around how an inspection actually happens on the shop floor — walk, shoot, note, send.
Engine, Brakes, Fluids, Tires, Suspension, Electrical Systems, Belts & Hoses, and Exterior — organized the way techs already think about a vehicle, not a generic checklist.
Walk around the vehicle and upload photos directly into each category as you go — no separate camera, no transferring files later.
Add context next to the photos — what you saw, what you'd recommend, and by when — so nothing gets lost between the inspection and the conversation with the customer.
Every photo and note is compiled into a clean, branded PDF report — nothing to format or assemble by hand.
Customer's waiting at the counter? Print it and hand it over. Not there? Email the same PDF straight from the app in one click.
Every inspection becomes part of that customer's and that vehicle's historical record — pull up any past inspection alongside the rest of their repair history, any time.
No separate app, no re-typing what you already photographed.
Start a new inspection and work through the eight categories at your own pace.
Upload photos right from your tablet or phone as you go — no separate step later.
Jot what you found and what you'd recommend next to the relevant photos.
Generate the report, hand it over at the counter, or send it in one click. Saved to their profile either way.
