The Digital Shop® Advantage

The 7 Touchpoints of Motorist Engagement & Shop Operations

All AutoVitals’ products are focused on improving how motorists interact with your shop and optimizing your internal shop operations.

Trust Through Transparency

In the digital age “transparency is the currency of trust”. This means you have to really show the motorist what is wrong with their vehicle; gone are the days when the motorist simply trusts a service advisor’s unsupported recommendation.

Data Driven Results

At AutoVitals, we leave nothing to chance. Every best practice metric – picture edit rate, inspection send rate, motorist research time, and more – is tracked on your shop’s own Business Control Panel so you can easily identify where your shop should improve performance, as well as help you manage your way to the operating results you deserve.

Innovation Through Collaboration

The Digital Shop® philosophy is inherently collaborative. All product updates and new releases are driven by the feedback we receive from our customers, your fellow shop owners. Our customers are eager to share best practices and AutoVitals’ tips with you to help you exceed your goals.

“We spend most of our day in the AutoVitals system. It’s a mindset shift. Think of [PoS provider] as a way to write RO’s, look up and order parts, collect money. EVERYTHING else is in AutoVitals.”

– Fred Gestwicki, Owner of Fix-It-With-Fred
