Everything You Need to Know About Digital Vehicle Inspections

Ever left a repair shop unsure about what was done to your vehicle? Digital vehicle inspections (DVI) provide full transparency, helping you make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs.

What Is a Digital Vehicle Inspection?

A DVI is a thorough check of your car’s systems, documented with photos, videos, and technician notes. Instead of verbal explanations, you get a digital report showing exactly what the technician sees.

How It Works:

  • Technicians use tablets to inspect and record findings.

  • Reports, including photos and videos, are sent via text or email.

  • Recommendations are color-coded: Green (Good), Yellow (Needs Attention), Red (Urgent Repair).

Why Choose Digital Inspections?

  • Transparency: See real-time photos/videos of your vehicle’s condition.

  • Convenience: Review your report anytime, anywhere.

  • Confidence: Understand and prioritize necessary repairs.

FAQs:

Can I decline repairs? Yes, the report helps you make informed choices.

How long does it take? Typically 30–60 minutes.
