Inspect Pro — the Inspection-First AutoVitals Alternative

AutoVitals is a full shop-management suite where digital vehicle inspection is one module. Inspect Pro is the opposite bet: the entire platform is built around running VA and NY inspections — checklists, photos, branded PDF reports — and nothing else. If your bottleneck is inspections, not estimates or parts, read on.

When AutoVitals is the better fit

  • You already run a full shop-management suite and want DVI as one module among estimating, parts ordering, payroll, and marketing — and you are comfortable with that scope and price tag.
  • You have a multi-location operation with >20 bays and need enterprise support included in the contract.
  • You want a marketing automation layer built into the same tool (AutoVitals bundles customer-lifecycle marketing).

When Inspect Pro wins

  • You run 1-5 bays and the inspection workflow is the bottleneck, not estimating or parts.
  • You do state-mandated safety or emission inspections in Virginia or New York and want VA + NY checklists pre-loaded out of the box.
  • You hate annual contracts and want to start for $49, month to month, and turn it off if you do not like it.
  • You want published pricing and a free trial before you sit through a sales call.

Migrating from AutoVitals is a one-day project

Export your inspection history and customer list from AutoVitals as CSV. Send it to our onboarding team. We load it, map customer records to expiring-inspection reminders, and verify your state sticker numbers sync correctly. Most shops are running real inspections on Inspect Pro within 24 hours of signing up.

FAQ

How does Inspect Pro pricing compare to AutoVitals?+

AutoVitals does not publish public pricing and typically quotes $200-$400 per bay per month on an annual contract, with onboarding fees. Inspect Pro is $49/mo per shop, month-to-month, with no onboarding fee and a free trial.

Can I migrate my inspection history from AutoVitals to Inspect Pro?+

Yes. Export your inspection records from AutoVitals as CSV or PDF and our team imports them during onboarding. Customer contact lists and historical inspection dates transfer automatically so your expiring-inspection reminders start working on day one.

Does Inspect Pro come with VA and NY checklists pre-loaded?+

Inspect Pro ships with Virginia (20-point) and New York (24-point + advisory) state checkpoint criteria and fee structures pre-loaded. Additional states are on the roadmap. AutoVitals supports more states but checkpoints are usually configured by the shop rather than pre-loaded, which is a different philosophy.

What happens if I cancel?+

Cancel anytime from your admin portal. No cancellation fee, no clawback on the current month. Your data exports to CSV on the way out.

Does Inspect Pro integrate with my shop-management system?+

We have an API on the roadmap and can export inspections as CSV or PDF today. If you use a shop-management suite, most customers use Inspect Pro alongside it for inspections specifically.
