Frequently asked questions

What is a vehicle check-in app?

A vehicle check-in app lets your team photograph and document every vehicle at drop-off. Photos are timestamped and tagged to the repair order, creating a record of the vehicle's condition before work begins. This protects your shop from damage claims and gives customers a visual record.

Does tekDrive handle loaner vehicles?

Yes. tekDrive's Onboarder includes a built-in loaner vehicle wizard. Document the loaner at check-out and check-in with photos, track which customer has which vehicle, and have a complete record if there's ever a dispute.

How does vehicle check-in protect my shop?

Timestamped photos at drop-off prove the vehicle's condition before your team touched it. If a customer claims damage that was already there, you have dated photo evidence tagged to the repair order. This protects your shop from false claims.

Can I manage fleet vehicle check-ins?

Yes. Onboarder works for individual vehicles and fleet accounts. Every vehicle gets the same documentation process — photos tagged to the RO, timestamped, and searchable. Fleet managers can see the full history of every vehicle serviced.
