Virtual inspections for auto and warranty

Verified vehicle condition, VIN, and odometer capture

Auto lenders, dealers, and warranty providers lose meaningful money to VIN mismatches, edited odometer photos, and coverage claims on vehicles that don't match the file. Virtual Inspection Pro puts a verified, geo-locked capture layer in front of every one of those flows.

Vehicle service contract administrators sit between a shop that wants approval now and a book that cannot absorb unverified claims. Live video inspection closes that gap: the adjuster joins the technician on the lift, sees the failed component in place, captures verified stills, reads the VIN and odometer with OCR, and authorizes or denies with evidence in the file. The shop stops waiting for a field inspector, and the administrator stops paying for visits that a five-minute call would have settled.

The problems we solve

Odometer and VIN fraud

Photoshopped odometer readings and reused VIN plates are among the top warranty fraud patterns.

Return and damage disputes

Without pre- and post-coverage verified photos, disputes over pre-existing damage become expensive.

Inspection lane bottlenecks

Sending every vehicle to an inspection lane doesn't scale for high-volume programs.

The workflow

  1. Step 1

    Send

    Owner receives a secure link to complete pre-coverage inspection.

  2. Step 2

    Capture

    Guided VIN, odometer, exterior, interior, and damage shots — all with OCR assist.

  3. Step 3

    Verify

    Every capture is tamper-checked and GPS-locked to a plausible location.

  4. Step 4

    Approve

    Coverage is bound against a verified condition file — not a screenshot.

What you get

  • VIN and odometer OCR verification
  • Reused-photo detection across your active portfolio
  • Damage annotation for pre-existing conditions
  • Signed PDF condition reports for every vehicle
  • Webhook integration with DMS and warranty admin systems

Real-world use cases

An administrator authorizes a transmission claim in eleven minutes

A shop calls with a failed transmission on a covered vehicle. The adjuster joins by video, has the tech show the pan contents and the fluid condition, captures four verified stills, and reads the odometer and VIN on camera. Coverage is confirmed against the contract terms and the authorization number issues before the tech leaves the bay.

A claims team denies a pre-existing damage claim with documentation

A claim is submitted for an engine failure two weeks after contract inception. On the video inspection the technician's own walk-around shows a bypassed sensor and prior repair work inconsistent with the claim narrative. The verified session, with annotated stills, supports the denial and survives the customer appeal.

Auto and warranty FAQs

Do you support commercial fleet workflows?

Yes — bulk inspection sends, fleet-manager dashboards, and integrations with fleet management platforms are supported.

Can we require the owner to complete the inspection at a specific location?

Yes. Geofence to the dealership, service center, or a specific radius.

Will independent repair shops cooperate with video inspections?

Shops generally prefer them, because the alternative is a vehicle occupying a bay for days waiting on an inspector. Joining takes a texted link and no account.

Can we read VINs and odometers accurately on a call?

On-call OCR extracts text from a captured frame so the adjuster verifies characters rather than transcribing from a blurry photo. Anything unreadable can be re-captured immediately.

How do we prevent staged or recycled failure photos?

Live sessions are inherently harder to stage than emailed photos, and every capture is time-stamped, geo-located to the facility, tamper-checked, and compared against prior claim media.

Does the recording become part of the claim file?

Yes. Session video, captured stills, annotations, adjuster notes, and OCR results package into one branded report attached to the claim.

Can we still send a physical inspector when needed?

Yes. Most administrators reserve physical inspections for high-dollar or suspicious claims and route the routine majority through video.
