If your priority is what happens inside the bay — digital vehicle inspections, tech workflow, and higher approved-work per ticket — AutoVitals’ DVI is far deeper than anything we do. We don’t touch inspection workflow. Plenty of shops run a DVI tool for the bay and use AxleDash for the front door; that’s a great pairing.
No. DVI and bay workflow aren’t what we do — AxleDash is the front door: your website, online booking, and a front desk that answers missed calls. If DVI is your priority, AutoVitals is the deeper tool there.
AutoVitals is quote-based and not published, typically on an annual term with training. AxleDash is public and month-to-month: $40/mo Website, $179/mo Front Desk.
Yes — a common setup is a DVI/workflow tool in the bay plus AxleDash for the website and missed-call capture out front. Nothing requires replacing what already works.
