Kimoby DVI: Kimoby describes its digital inspection as a technician tool for explaining repairs to customers. A technician runs a multi-point inspection on a tablet.
Kimoby DVI: Kimoby DVI and Digital MPI
Each item gets a green, yellow or red status with photos.
Findings reach the customer in a visual format that shows what the technician found. The inspection data connects to Kimoby's Service Lane OS and to several dealer management systems, including CDK, Reynolds, Tekion and PBS.
So it stays on the repair order.
The inspection works with Kimoby's Video-to-Customer feature. A technician records a short video of an issue.
Customers can approve estimates with one tap by text based on the findings. Inspection data feeds directly into digital estimates.
Kimoby cites dollar figures for approved and declined work on its page. Those are the company's claims.
Other inspection tools include AutoVitals, Xtime Inspect and Dealer-FX's Visual MPI.
A service director would ask how templates are built and how photos and video are stored. It would ask how approvals post to the repair order and how the tool connects to the DMS.
The category guide for inspection tools lists a neutral checklist. Confirm each point directly.
Verify each integration first.
Kimoby's inspection tool lets technicians run a multipoint inspection from a phone, scan the VIN and attach photos or video to each finding. The inspection, estimate and photos sync to the repair order.
The company calls its whole product the Service Lane OS.
It lists integrations with UVeye for tire sales and with Hunter Engineering. A service director would ask how the inspection results reach the customer.
Kimoby's inspection page describes four steps: the technician marks each item green, yellow or red with photos or video, the advisor turns red and yellow findings into estimate lines in one click, the customer receives everything in one text link while the car is in the bay, and approves or declines each line from a phone. It also mentions tread depth, brake pad and battery health measurements and tracking of declined work for later follow-up.
