“[Our previous] inspections did not cut it. Too many times a day, I had to take a ticket back to a technician. The pictures were fine, but there was no ability to edit them. So, I would get a lot of questions from customers like, ‘What am I looking at?’. That was why we moved to AutoVitals.”

Tatiana B, Shop Manager, CO (AutoVitals and Tekmetric user)
