AutoVitals VIN Scanner

The VIN scanner is a crucial tool in any automotive professional's arsenal. A VIN scanner and decoder allow you to scan a vehicle's identification number to access important vehicle information, such as the year, make, and model. VIN scanners save automotive professionals valuable time and reduce the possibility of manual error. 

AutoVitals VIN Scanner Capabilities

AutoVitals' digital vehicle inspections include an integrated VIN scanner designed to make adding vehicle information an effortless experience. 

Here are some key features of AutoVitals VIN Scanner:

• VIN Scanning and Decoding: The AutoVitals VIN Scanner can read multiple codes, including Linear, Data Matrix, and QR codes. This versatility means it can quickly capture and decode the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from various vehicles, regardless of the type of code used.
• Year, Make, and Model: Once the VIN is scanned, the scanner instantly decodes it, providing immediate information about the vehicle's year, make, and model. This information is crucial for technicians to understand the specifics of the car they are working on and simplifies the check-in process.
• Data Entry:  By automatically gathering this critical data, the AutoVitals VIN Scanner eliminates the need for manual data entry, reducing the potential for human error and speeding up the entire inspection process. This feature alone can save automotive technicians and service centers significant time, allowing them to focus on what they do best. 
• Point of Sale Integration: AutoVitals integrates with most major point of sale/shop management systems. With our two-way integration, the vehicle VIN, year, make, model, odometer reading, and more will be pushed back into your shop management system. 

Beyond VIN Scanning: A Streamlined Check-In and Inspection Process

The VIN Scanner is just the beginning of how AutoVitals facilitates the vehicle check-in and inspection process. Here's how the entire system works to make life easier for automotive technicians:

Comprehensive Vehicle Check-In:

Once the VIN is scanned, AutoVitals' digital vehicle inspections guide technicians through gathering all other necessary vehicle information. This includes an odometer reading and a walk-around visual inspection of the vehicle to check for any body damage prior to service. 

Multi-Point Inspection:

AutoVitals' system leads technicians through a thorough walk-around and multi-point inspection process. This comprehensive digital vehicle inspection covers various aspects of the vehicle, including:

• Under the Hood: AutoVitals' digital inspection guides technicians through checking critical engine components, fluids, and other mechanical elements. This step is essential for identifying potential issues affecting the vehicle's performance.
• Vehicle Interior: The digital vehicle inspection will prompt the technician to check the dashboard for warning lights and note the condition of the cabin air filter.  
• Tires and Suspension:  The system prompts technicians to examine the vehicle's tires, brakes, and suspension components, ensuring that the car is roadworthy and safe for the driver.
