Digital vehicle inspection, done from a phone
- Built for gloves. Big buttons, one item at a time, camera one tap away.
- Worst first. Customers see what needs attention now before the long list of green checks.
- Priced on the spot. Turn a red finding into a job on the estimate with one tap.
- No app for the customer. The link opens in their text messages.
How it works in RepairSlip
- Open a repair order and tap Start inspection.
- Mark each point. Anything yellow or red gets a note and a photo straight from the camera.
- Tap Add to estimate on a finding to turn it into a priced job.
- Send the link. The customer sees red items first, with photos, and approves or declines each job on their phone.
- Declined items stay on the car's history for next visit.
What a good inspection note looks like
| Weak | Strong |
|---|---|
| Brakes worn | 2 mm left on the left front inner pad. Metal-on-metal soon. |
| Belt bad | Cracks across the ribs, glazed. Squeals on cold start. |
| Tires low | Rear tires at 4/32. Replace before winter. |

Questions
What is a digital vehicle inspection?+
A multi-point inspection done on a phone or tablet instead of paper, with photos and notes for anything that needs attention, sent to the customer as a link they can view and approve.
Does a DVI really increase approved work?+
Customers approve what they understand. A photo of a cracked belt explains more than a phone call, and customers can look at it again before deciding. Shops that switch from paper usually find conversations about recommended work get easier.
Do techs need special hardware?+
No. Any phone with a camera works. RepairSlip's inspection screen has large buttons for gloves and opens the camera from each item.
