Questions

What is a multi-point inspection?

A multi-point inspection is a routine check of the main systems of a vehicle — fluids, battery, belts, lights, wipers, steering, suspension, brakes and tires — usually done during an oil change or service visit, so the customer knows what needs attention now and what can wait.

Are these templates included in the app?

The templates on this page are examples. You build your own templates in the app or on the web in a few minutes — copy these items or use your own.

How long does a multi-point inspection take?

It depends on the template. A quick oil-change check is shorter than a full inspection, which is why most shops keep more than one template.

Can I add photos to a multi-point inspection?

Yes. Add photos to any item from the phone camera; they appear on the PDF report next to the finding.

How much does ASW DVI cost?

Free for 10 days with every feature, then $100 CAD/month. Card verification is required when you register, but you are not charged during the trial.
