The Quick Check Drive autonomous inspection system provides accurate and detailed alignment and tire tread measurements in seconds when the vehicle drives through the service lane, the company said.
Dealerlogix software provides an accurate service scheduling and dual sales presentation processes that combines a tablet-driven service lane experience with an interactive multipoint inspection process that "transforms repair recommendations into a digital shopping cart experience," Hunter said.
Through the new partnership, that inspection data will transmit to Dealerlogix automatically when a vehicle passes through Quick Check Drive.
Matched by VIN, the real-time data flow populates alignment status and tire tread depth measurements, instantly documenting the walkaround for advisors and multipoint inspection for technicians. The data then becomes accessible to service advisors and the vehicle owner, saving time and making the process easier, Hunter said.
"Our mutual customers have been asking for this integration to enhance dealer profitability, shop efficiency and the customer experience," said Alan Hagerty, Hunter product manager for partner integrations. "We're happy to make that a reality with Dealerlogix by connecting the service lane, parts department and technicians to increase satisfaction, retention and profitability."
Alignments are typically the highest-margin services a shop can provide, Hunter said.
Hunter and Dealerlogix will display the new integration at the upcoming NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) 2023 show, set for Jan. 27-29 at the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center in Dallas.
