With all the hype around digital inspection platforms today, Autovitals included, you would assume they are a new thing. Not True, Automotive Inspection Systems, L.L.C. was formed in 2004 by Rick Dunmire and Pete Kipe. Pete has a software background and partnered with Rick, an auto repair shop owner. Not only does MVIRS provide a tool for a digital inspection, it provides a Pennsylvania repair shop with everything they need for PA State Inspection's.
When asking the question: "Which Digital Inspection Program Is Right For My Auto Repair Shop", PA shops should definitely consider this integrated solution. We've discussed a few other Digital Inspections Platforms in previous articles. MVIRS brings a new level of integration to the table, above and beyond integration with a shop management system.
When it comes to an evaluation of MVIRS Vs. Autovitals for a digital inspection solution, it is not an apples to apples comparison. With software tools it is rare that two products offer the same features. Many times multiple tools are needed to create a complete solution. This stack of software can cause Monthly costs to add up quickly. Check out this article to review a few of the options available for digital inspections.
