What Happens in a Full Vehicle Inspection
A full vehicle inspection is more than just a quick glance under the hood, it’s a comprehensive check-up that ensures your car is safe, roadworthy, and ready for the miles ahead. Whether you’re maintaining your vehicle, preparing for a trip, or diagnosing an issue, a full inspection provides clarity and peace of mind.
At AutoSoftWay, we’ve made the inspection process faster, clearer, and more professional, for both the shop and the customer. Here’s what typically happens from start to finish during a full vehicle inspection.
1. Technician Begins the Inspection
The process starts with a certified technician thoroughly examining your vehicle. Examples of Key Areas Inspected by the Technician:
- Tires and brakes
- Lights and wipers
- Fluid levels and leaks
- Battery health and engine components
- Suspension, belts, and hoses
- Exhaust system and undercarriage
Using AutoSoftWay’s Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) tools, the technician can record notes, capture images, and mark the condition of each item quickly and clearly.
2. Digital Report Sent to the Client
Once the inspection is complete, the technician sends a full digital report directly to the client and this can be done through AutoSoftWay. The report includes:
- A checklist of items inspected
- Visual indicators of item status (Good, Fair, Needs Attention)
- Photos or notes explaining any issues
- Recommendations for repair or maintenance
3. Client Reviews and Approves Work
No more confusing phone calls or verbal summaries. Clients receive a clear, professional report and can approve or decline recommended services directly from their phone or computer.
This step ensures complete transparency and allows customers to make informed decisions without pressure.
4. Technician Proceeds with the Approved Work
Once the client gives approval, the technician is automatically notified through AutoSoftWay. Work begins only on the services the client has agreed to, streamlining operations and avoiding miscommunication.
5. Invoice and Payment Made Easy
When the job is complete, AutoSoftWay helps generate the invoice automatically, reflecting all approved work and parts used. Clients can conveniently make payments in the shop and receive a clear, itemized invoice on the spot.
