## About vehicle inspections.

Can I change the inspection checklist?

Yes. Edit the general-repair checklist for your shop. Mark findings as pass, attention, or urgent, and add photos and notes to the job.

Does an inspection finding approve the work?

No. A finding records what you found. Add the work to an estimate and send it for customer approval. Customers approve or decline each job.

What if I find more work after approval?

Add the finding to the estimate and send the revised work for a new approval. The earlier approval does not cover changed or added work.

## Keep the finding with the repair.

Keep inspection photos, notes, and customer decisions with the same job. From the first finding to the approved work.
