Tekmetric & Our Digital Vehicle Inspection

A quick look at the software behind the promise. This is the Tekmetric system and our digital inspection on the tech's monitors — where the photos and notes that land on your phone actually come from.

What you're watching

This is Tekmetric — the shop-management system we run — and a digital vehicle inspection open alongside it on the tech's two monitors. When we tell you "you'll get the evidence on your phone before we touch anything," this is where it comes from. The findings, the photos, and the line items are all built here and sent to you as a link.

It's a small clip, but it's the part most shops never show you: the actual paper trail behind the repair.

Why a digital inspection changes the deal

The old way is a service writer reading you a list over the phone and hoping you say yes. A digital vehicle inspection flips that:

  • Every finding has a photo or a video. You see the worn brake, the leak, the cracked boot — you're not taking anyone's word for it.
  • It's itemized and color-coded. What's urgent, what to watch, what's fine — sorted, so you know what actually needs doing now.
  • You approve from your phone. Tap the work you want. The work that's done matches the bill, because you picked it.
  • It's a record. The inspection stays attached to your vehicle's history, so next visit we're not starting from zero.

How we work at Beacon

  • Inspect and document first — photos and notes on every finding, in the system you just saw.
  • Send it to your phone — you review the evidence before approving anything.
  • Tap-to-approve — pick the work; the estimate is the bill.
  • 24-month warranty on parts and labor.
