The first number goes out the same morning, which is usually the shop that gets the car.
Full-resolution originals with the VIN in frame, downloadable as one zip.
The scale of the job is known before it is scheduled, so a two-day repair does not take a week-long slot.
Questions shops ask
Questions shops ask
Can customers photograph a VIN properly?
The form shows them where it is and what a usable shot looks like. Anything unreadable is obvious in the gallery.
Can I share the file with the insurer?
Send the read-only gallery link, or download the originals as a zip. Neither needs an account.
Does this replace a teardown estimate?
No. It gets a first number out fast and tells you which cars need to come in.
We already use CrewCheck. Do they connect?
Same customer record. The intake photos sit on the job before the tech opens their checklist.
