After 25+ years on the service counter, I built the DVI tool I always wished I had. FreeDVI is completely free to use with zero monthly fees—run it locally on your own hardware, or choose optional managed cloud options.
LIMITED BETA: First shops to join lock in 100% Free Lifetime Access.
Whether performing drive-side intake check-ins or under the vehicle conducting digital inspections, FreeDVI provides touch-first speed for your entire team.
Advisors complete quick check-ins, record license plates/VINs, and snap mandatory pre-existing damage photos directly on the drive using any tablet or smartphone.
Technicians move fast under the vehicle with large touch targets, color-coded condition badges, tire/brake measurement tools, and instant photo evidence uploads.
Quick pass/fail checks or precise measurements like tire tread and brake pads. Color codes update automatically so techs can move fast without extra typing.
Always know where every vehicle stands—from bay check-in to completed inspection, sent to the customer, and approved for work.
Instantly match active vehicles against both US NHTSA and Transport Canada (VRDB) safety recall databases plus manufacturer TSBs. Techs and advisors get OEM safety alerts tailored to your shop's region.
Send clean, photo-backed reports straight to customer phones. Customers can review, ask questions, and sign off on recommended line items directly from any smartphone or tablet.
Track repair orders seamlessly through every status transition—from initial draft estimate to customer approval, in-progress work, and final invoice.

Mandatory intake photos protect your shop from day one. Group household or fleet vehicles together so you never have to re-enter customer details for shared cars.
