Tekmetric's September 2024 Product Rundown

The Tekmetric Mobile App now does more than fast digital vehicle inspections.

The newest update introduces Mobile Check-In, giving you or your service advisors the ability to greet customers in the parking lot, scan a VIN or license plate, and instantly start or pull up a repair order, all from a phone. It’s a faster, easier way to begin every job and keep things moving.

Speed Starts at the Curb

Check-in is one of the most visible — and often most frustrating — parts of a shop’s day. Whether it’s a walk-in with a flat tire or a scheduled customer with missing info, time is lost bouncing between the lot and the desk, retyping data, and waiting to begin.

Mobile Check-In simplifies all of that.
‍
Now, you can confirm arrivals, start new ROs, and begin helping customers the second they pull into the lot — without delays or extra steps.

A Mobile App That Does More Than You Might Think

The Tekmetric Mobile App isn’t just a tool for inspections — and it’s not just for technicians.

Technicians can use the app to:

• Find their assigned repair orders
• Complete DVIs with photos, videos, and markups
• Track time and stay on top of work in progress

Service advisors can use it to:

• Greet customers in the parking lot
• Scan VINs or plates
• Start repair orders right from their phone
  

All without logging into a desktop.

A Real Mobile App — Not Just a Website Shrunk Down

Tekmetric Mobile is a fully native app, designed from the ground up for iOS and Android. It’s fast, reliable, and optimized for real-world use in the shop — whether you’re in the bay or out in the lot.

While it doesn’t include every desktop feature, it makes the most important ones faster and easier when you’re on the go — like:

• Starting repair orders
• Performing inspections
• Reducing back-and-forth between workstations and customers
  

And this is just the beginning. Future updates will continue to bring more mobile workflows into the palm of your hand.
