Picture this: a regular customer pulls into your service lane. You pick up your tablet and walk over. When you greet him with a smile and say, “Hi Bill, I’m going to get you checked in right here,” he’s surprised.
He asks, “How are you going to do that?” You show him your tablet with the vehicle inspection mobile app, connected to the Mitchell 1’s Manager SE shop management system in the office. You explain, “Not only can I inspect your car and note the condition of service items, but I can also include photos of any findings we might need to discuss with you.”
OneFlow: The Next Evolution in Vehicle Inspections
ProSpect helped shops take inspections mobile, and for many, it changed how they worked. Greeting customers at the vehicle, documenting findings with photos, and syncing data directly to Manager SE were real steps forward. It made the inspection process faster, more professional, and better integrated with the rest of the workflow.
The OneFlow vehicle inspection app takes things even further. It builds on what ProSpect did well, delivering a more modern mobile experience, deeper integration with Manager SE, and new tools that link inspection findings directly to estimates and approvals. The mission remains the same: help shops work faster and serve customers better, with even more features.
If ProSpect gives your shop a better way to inspect, OneFlow gives you a better way to do everything that comes after. Count on Mitchell 1 for vehicle inspection apps and other advanced tools that help shops work more efficiently.
New Features With OneFlow Inspections
OneFlow Inspections delivers a modern vehicle inspection app experience built around the full multi-point inspection (MPI) process. It’s not only about documenting what you find — it’s about moving from findings to estimates to approvals without time-wasting steps in between.
It is bundled with Mitchell 1’s OneFlow Estimator tool, powered by the Snap-on Digital Engine that leverages decades of real-world repair records to deliver unprecedented speed and accuracy. Supercharged by OneFlow Estimator, the Inspections tool includes the following features:
New features include:
- Automated Inspections-to-Estimates: Inspection findings are turned into estimates right away, with no delays or duplicate data entry.
- Customizable Inspection Templates: Create inspection forms that fit your shop’s process and the vehicles you see most often.
- Streamlined Customer Approvals: Send estimates and inspection reports straight to your customer’s phone for quick digital approval.
- Real-Time Shop Coordination: Service writers and technicians can view inspection findings in the workflow in real time.
- Transparent Visual Reports: Photos and technician notes are shown clearly, so customers know exactly what’s being recommended.
- Built-In Follow-Up and Retention Tools: Follow-up with customers with automated reminders after services have been declined or deferred to build long-term relationships.
The vehicle inspection app works on both Android and iOS devices. You can connect as many devices as your shop needs, and there’s no setup fee per device.
All Your OneFlow Inspections Information in One Place
OneFlow Inspections stands out because it is tightly synced with Manager SE. Inspection data isn’t kept in a separate system. Instead, it goes straight into Manager SE’s Job View suite, which provides an enhanced on-screen workflow that keeps shops organized and customers aligned.
When a technician finishes a multi-point inspection, the findings appear in the repair order immediately. Photos, notes, and recommended repairs are all in the same place your team already uses. Service writers can create estimates from inspection findings without re-entering information. When shops use the vehicle inspection report app, customers get a clear, complete report along with the estimate.
Everything your shop needs, from the first walk-around to the final approval, happens in one connected workflow. There’s no need to switch apps, no lost information, and no gaps between what the technician finds and what the customer sees.
That’s why inspections are much more than just a car inspection app. It’s a connected experience that helps your whole shop run better.
