MPI VEHICLE-INSPECTION SYSTEM AIMS TO BUILD DEALER BIZ
February 12, 2006—Mobile Productivity, Inc. (MPi), says dealerships that use ARGIS, its automated vehicle-inspection program, inspected more than 11,000 vehicles in December and sold another $1.2 million in needed parts and labor. The keystone is a customized “vehicle health” report computer-generated for each service customer that itemizes repairs the customer requested, additional needed repairs discovered during the inspection (with explanations, photos, and estimates), and whether the customer accepted or declined the additional repairs. The info is collected on portable tablets and is integrated with the store's dealer management system so management can track which techs and service writers are inspecting and selling. Plus, MPi’s growing vehicle-inspection database quickly relays to techs the exact repair info they need, the company says.
