Digital vehicle inspections can be a powerful tool for improving shop efficiency, building customer trust, and uncovering additional repair opportunities. But the real value comes from what happens after the inspection is complete.
Manually transferring the DVI findings into estimates can create bottlenecks and slow down repairs. But when inspection findings are connected directly to modern estimating tools, service advisors can turn recommended repairs into customer-ready estimates – in a fraction of the time.
OneFlow Estimator + Inspections from Mitchell 1 brings these processes together in a connected workflow within its Manager SE shop management system.
With OneFlow Inspections, technicians can document vehicle conditions using photos, videos and notes captured on a mobile device. Inspection findings flow directly into Manager SE, where service advisors can quickly build estimates using OneFlow Estimator.
Powered by the Snap-on® Digital Engine and billions of validated repair records, OneFlow Estimator automatically matches labor, parts and related items to each job – reducing manual lookups and accelerating the estimating process.
The result? Fewer workflow bottlenecks, less administrative work, and faster customer approvals.
See how connecting inspections with estimating tools can help your shop boost productivity, increase repair opportunities and keep jobs moving.
