Transforming Vehicle Inspections with AI
The automotive service industry is in the middle of a digital transformation. Customers demand transparency, shops face margin pressure, and old paper-based inspections can no longer keep up.
That’s where Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) powered by AI from focalx comes in.
What is AI-Powered DVI?
Think of it as your technician’s new assistant. Using just a smartphone, focalx guides you through a 360° scan of the vehicle. Our AI models automatically detect damages, classify them, and generate a professional inspection report—complete with photos, annotations, and recommendations.
Your customer receives the report instantly. No arguments, no uncertainty—just clarity backed by images and AI.
Benefits for Shops & Body Shops
Build Customer Trust Two out of three drivers don’t fully trust repair shops. Visual evidence changes that. When customers see what you see, they approve work faster.
Boost ARO (Average Repair Order) Shops using DVI report 15–30% increases in AROs. AI-driven inspections add consistency and uncover issues technicians might miss.
Faster, Smarter Workflows- No Paper. No clipboards. No lost notes. Inspections are digital, searchable, and shareable. Shops running focalx complete inspections in minutes, with all records stored securely in the cloud.
Cost Savings & Risk Protection By catching small issues early, shops prevent costly breakdowns. Every inspection also creates a bulletproof record—protecting you in disputes with customers, insurers, or fleets.
Upsell Opportunities With annotated photos and videos, it’s easy to show customers why add-on services like detailing, tire changes, or preventative maintenance matter—without feeling “salesy.”
