The challenge
Where a repair goes wrong
A repair passes through five stages. Without a check at each one, gaps only show at delivery.
Stage 1
Intake
No photos of the damage, so disputes can’t be settled later.
Stage 2
Estimate
Parts or labour left out, then approved again later.
Stage 3
Repair
Steps skipped, and nobody signs off the repair.
Stage 4
Refinish
Booth maintenance and colour checks are skipped.
Stage 5
Delivery
The customer finds the problem before the shop does.
How it works
Every stage, every booth, every shop
Standard checks from vehicle intake to delivery, an action for every gap, and one view across every shop.
Every stage
Intake to delivery in one checklist
Intake, estimate, repair, refinish and the final quality inspection become scored checklists, with photos at each step.
Every booth
Booth and safety checks that don’t lapse
Paint booth maintenance, PPE and the storage of chemicals get their own regular checks, so they don’t lapse.
Every shop
Shops compared, step by step
Every failed step becomes an action, closed with photo proof. The dashboard compares shops and shows the steps that fail most often.

FAQ
Bodyshop audit software: common questions
What is bodyshop audit software?
Bodyshop audit software replaces paper checklists for body and paint shop audits. Auditors check each step from vehicle intake to delivery with photos, gaps become tracked actions, and a dashboard compares shops.
Does it work for one shop or many?
Both. A single shop uses it to keep its own standard; a network uses it to compare every shop on one scale.
Can we use our own SOPs?
Yes. Your SOPs’ steps and scoring become the checklist.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Audits can be completed offline and upload automatically once the device is back online.
Can it cover paint booth and safety checks?
Yes. Booth maintenance, PPE and hazardous materials can be part of the same audit or their own checklist.
