Damage Report

Record existing damage on a vehicle damage diagram

A dent that was “already there” is easy to argue about and hard to prove. Click on the vehicle damage diagram to drop a numbered point where the damage is, describe it, add photos, and keep it with the inspection — before the car goes into the bay.

AutoSoftWay Damage Report: car diagram with front, back, both sides and top views to click on

  • Click the car where the damage is

    The diagram shows the front, the back, both sides and the top. Click inside the car outline to add a numbered point; click it again to remove it.

  • A note and photos for every point

    Describe each point — “scratch on rear bumper, driver side” — and add its own photos, so there is no question later about what was already there.

  • On the PDF the customer gets

    The Damage Report prints on the inspection PDF as a numbered list with each description and its photos. You can hide it in the PDF settings.

Questions

What is a vehicle damage diagram?

A vehicle damage diagram is an outline of the car — front, back, sides and top — where you mark existing dents, scratches and chips when the vehicle comes in, so everyone agrees on its condition before the work starts.

Can I add photos to a damage point?

Yes. Every point has its own description and its own photos.

Does the damage diagram show on the PDF report?

Yes. The Damage Report prints on the inspection PDF as a numbered list of points with their descriptions and photos. You can hide it in the DVI PDF settings.

Is the damage diagram in the app and on the web?

Yes. It is part of the inspection in the ASW DVI app and in AutoSoftWay on the web.

Is it useful for rental returns and fleet vehicles?

Yes. Mark damage at check-out and again at return, and the two inspections show what changed.

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.
