Vehicle Inspection Form
There have been several times when I wished that I had performed a more thorough inspection on a vehicle before I quoted a price. I would find a hidden problem that would require more time and material to correct for which I wasn't being compensated for. No real biggie, since I am just a weekend warrior, but it does start to add up after awhile in lost income, time and frustration.
Since I have started using an inspection form when I give an estimate, I feel that I am more professional in my appearance while making it easier for me to identify areas in need of special attention, and posibly upsell a service.
This is a modified version of a form that a friend of mine uses daily in his business. Please make changes to fit your own needs.
Sorry, but I am unable to attach the original Excel version. I would be happy to send the Excel version to anyone interested, just PM me your email address.
I hope this helps someone out.
