In today's fast-paced world, staying ahead of the curve is more important than ever, especially when it comes to maintaining your vehicle. At 17th Street Automotive in Virginia Beach, VA, we’re not just keeping up with the latest advancements in automotive care—we’re leading the way. One of the most significant innovations we've embraced is the digital vehicle inspection (DVI). This cutting-edge approach to vehicle maintenance is transforming how we care for our customers' cars, offering transparency, efficiency, and peace of mind like never before.



Understanding Digital Vehicle Inspections

Digital vehicle inspections represent a leap forward from traditional, paper-based inspections. Instead of relying solely on manual notes, our ASE-certified technicians at 17th Street Automotive use advanced digital tools to conduct comprehensive inspections of your vehicle. These tools allow us to document the condition of each part of your car with high-resolution photos, detailed notes, and even videos.

The real game-changer? You, the customer, are kept in the loop every step of the way. Through a user-friendly digital report, you can see exactly what our technicians see—right from your smartphone or computer. This level of transparency not only builds trust but also empowers you to make informed decisions about your vehicle's maintenance needs.

The Benefits of Digital Vehicle Inspections

1. Transparency and Trust

At 17th Street Automotive, we believe that trust is the foundation of any great relationship, and that includes our relationship with your car. Digital vehicle inspections provide you with a clear, visual representation of your vehicle’s health. No more second-guessing what needs to be fixed or replaced—you’ll have all the information at your fingertips.

2. Informed Decision-Making

When you receive a DVI report, you’re not just getting a list of what’s wrong; you’re getting a full picture of your vehicle's condition. This includes items that may not need immediate attention but should be monitored. By understanding the state of your vehicle, you can prioritize repairs and maintenance based on urgency and your budget, ensuring that your car stays in peak condition without unexpected surprises.

3. Efficiency and Convenience

Gone are the days of waiting around for a phone call to find out what’s wrong with your car. With digital vehicle inspections, you receive instant updates as soon as the inspection is completed. This means quicker service decisions, less time in the shop, and more time on the road. Plus, with all the details stored digitally, you can easily refer back to previous inspections whenever needed.

4. Enhanced Communication

Digital vehicle inspections enhance communication between you and our technicians. If you have questions about a specific finding, we can provide additional photos, videos, or even a live video chat to discuss your vehicle’s condition. This direct line of communication ensures that you’re fully informed and confident in the care your vehicle receives.
