Speed Up Client Approvals with DVI

In the fast-paced world of auto repair, time is money and client approvals can often cause delays. Whether you’re waiting on a green light for repairs or trying to explain complex issues to a customer, delays in communication can slow down your workflow, reduce productivity, and impact revenue.

This is where Digital Vehicle Inspections (DVI) come in and AutoSoftWay takes DVI to the next level.

What Is DVI?

Digital Vehicle Inspections replace traditional paper-based checklists with a digital format, allowing technicians to:

  • Upload photos of vehicle issues
  • Mark conditions (e.g., Good, Needs Attention, Urgent)
  • Add comments or service recommendations
  • Share inspection results directly with the client

This helps customers visually understand what’s wrong and why a service is needed, building trust and speeding up decisions.

Why Do Client Approvals Take So Long?

Customers often hesitate to approve services because they:

  • Don’t fully understand the issue
  • Need time to think about the cost
  • Are unsure if the service is necessary

Without a clear explanation or supporting visuals, approvals get delayed, and vehicles sit idle in your shop.

How AutoSoftWay DVI Changes the Game

AutoSoftWay’s DVI system is built for speed, clarity, and customer trust:

  1. Visual Clarity: Technicians can attach annotated images of the problem areas. This gives customers a crystal-clear view of what’s going on under the hood.
  2. Instant Sharing: As soon as the inspection is done, AutoSoftWay sends the report directly to the customer’s phone or email—no waiting, no printing.
  3. One-Click Approvals: Customers can review the inspection and approve services with a single tap from their phone, dramatically cutting down wait times.
  4. Audit Trail: All approvals are logged, so your shop is protected with documentation and transparency.
  5. Mobile Friendly: The entire experience is mobile-optimized, ensuring quick access and fast responses, even if the customer is on the go.
