How to Use DVI
Build trust and transparency with your customers, and increase your ARO while doing it.
1. Initiate the Inspection
- Access the work order via QR code or the desktop tab.
- Select the "Start DVI tool" button within the work order to begin.
2. Configure Vehicle & Technician Details
- Confirm the vehicle information that is automatically imported by the system.
- Enter the current mileage to determine required services (e.g., oil changes).
- Select the specific vehicle type (e.g., "Dually" vs. "Car"). This selection automatically adjusts service fields, such as the number of tires and brakes.
- Verify the Service Writer information, which is pulled from the work order by default (this can be manually overridden if necessary).
3. Conduct the Inspection
- Use the color-coded indicator system (Green, Yellow, Red) to record measurements, such as tire tread depth.
- Enter technician notes.
4. Pricing & Summarization
- Review the AI-generated pricing populated in the tool.
- Manually edit any pricing fields as needed to ensure shop-specific accuracy.
- The system will compile an AI-generated summary for the customer based on your inputs and technician notes.
5. Customer Consent
- Once the inspection is complete, send the DVI to the customer.
- Wait for the customer to review the inspection and provide consent before beginning any work. You'll receive an email when they have approved services.
