DVI & Preventive Maintenance Specialists in Richmond, VA
At The Simple Auto Shop, transparency and safety are at the core of everything we do. That’s why every service we perform includes a complimentary Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI). Our DVI process allows us to thoroughly assess your vehicle’s condition while providing you with clear, visual documentation so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
What Is a Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI)?
A Digital Vehicle Inspection is a modern, technology-driven approach to preventive maintenance. During the inspection, our certified technicians perform a comprehensive multi-point evaluation of your vehicle’s major systems and components. Findings are documented with photos, videos, and detailed technician notes, which are shared digitally for complete transparency.
This process eliminates guesswork, builds trust, and ensures you understand exactly what your vehicle needs — now and in the future.
