Mobile digital vehicle inspections

mobile app for digital vehicle inspections that allows technicians to complete inspections directly from a phone or tablet, improving shop efficiency and increasing reporting accuracy while still protecting revenue. The app lets shops send customers a digital report of recommended repairs directly to their smartphone, including pictures and videos. It shows them exactly what the technician sees, allowing them to make an informed decision before approving needed repairs.

What is Workshop Management Software

Full inspections with photo and video

With CarSide, technicians perform a complete vehicle inspection using a tablet or phone instead of paper, recording the process with pictures, videos, and voice-to-text notes. Service advisors can then send the results immediately to customers on their smartphones, helping build trust through clear, digital inspections with photos and video.

By allowing customers to see exactly what technicians see, CarSide makes it easier for advisors to explain recommended work and sell services more efficiently. Repair shops using CarSide have seen an over 15% increase in average repair orders, which can translate to $10,000 or more per month.

Detailed analytics dashboard for instant insights

The first steps to increase shop profits are establishing a consistent process for inspecting every vehicle and being able to monitor how that process is performing. CarSide supports this with a comprehensive analytics dashboard that allows shop owners to monitor key metrics such as how many tickets are created each day, whether those tickets are inspected, and if inspection reports have been sent to customers. By associating these metrics with trends in average repair order, owners can stay on top of team member performance and identify opportunities for improvement.

Built for single or multi-location shops

CarSide supports both independent shops and multi-location operations. When used with Autowork One (formerly VAST Online) and enterprise capabilities, businesses can ensure customers across all locations receive consistent pricing and service levels.

Businesses can centrally execute company-wide changes to prices, products, and maintenance functions to avoid repetitive updates at each store. Controlled access to back-office systems across all locations allows operators to set budgets, targets, and sales objectives by store, while still protecting your business from risk. Customer histories can also be accessed across locations, enabling teams to create and display relevant messages when customers bring their vehicles in for service.
