Features and Usability

### How do customer pictures work in AutoVitals?

AutoVitals makes repair recommendations easier to understand by attaching photos and videos to digital inspections. Many auto repair shops say visual proof builds trust, improves approval conversations, and helps customers see leaks, wear, or damage clearly. Some teams, however, want more personalized messaging and find parts of the picture workflow dated.

### How well does AutoVitals handle customer communication?

AutoVitals keeps shops and customers informed through texts, digital inspections, reminders, and follow-up messages. Service advisors, technicians, and marketing teams often value the clearer communication, added transparency, and easier review collection.

Pros

Being an old school mechanic at first I was hesitant to use this software for inspections, but now I'm pleased I did the switch. This makes my shop to have a more professional look. Inspection process is quite easy, very user friendly and helps to standardize the procedure across all the shops. I would definitely recommend this to my colleagues in Mexico.

Cons

The app sometimes forgets my login info and I have to input it again when I open it back. Other than that, everything works OK.

I’m extremely happy overall. It speeds up the process and increases ROY while simultaneously keeping the customer happy and long-term retention increases because of all this.

Pros

It makes it easier to use when facing a customer. It increases the ticket average because customers can actually view the issue and the biggest complaint when someone is coming in for service work on their car is they believe they’re being forced to fix things that aren’t necessary. This takes the guest work out of that for the customer and they can visually see the issue and are more likely to say yes to the repair which keeps everybody happy, both the dealership and the customer.

Cons

It is not the most user-friendly, but sometimes technicians aren’t that tech savvy either. As with any technology, it can be glitchy and freeze, but overall, I’m extremely happy.

Pros

What I like the most about using AutoVitals was the way it allowed me to show my team a visual of what we want to achieve.

If I had to pick out something that I would say I like the least about AutoVitals it would have to be the response time occasionally but hardly at all.

My overall experience with AutoVitals was a good one. Other than the complex explanations in the inspection report and above average pricing for similar software.

Pros

The feature I liked most was the inspection report. Most customers approved the work to be performed after reviewing this.

Cons

My only complaint would be all the extra wording and explanations that are too long in the customer inspection report. This could be shortened and more matter of fact.
