Auto damage inspection is the process of assessing and evaluating the extent of damage to a vehicle after an accident or other incident. It involves inspecting the various components and systems of the vehicle to determine the repairs needed and the associated costs.

Here are the general steps involved in an auto damage inspection:

Visual Inspection: The inspector visually examines the exterior of the vehicle, looking for any visible damage such as dents, scratches, or broken parts.

Documentation: The inspector documents the damage by taking photographs and notes.

Mechanical Inspection: The inspector examines the mechanical components of the vehicle, such as the engine, suspension, brakes, and exhaust system. They check for any signs of damage or malfunction that may have resulted from the incident.

Diagnostic Scans: In modern vehicles, diagnostic scans are often performed using specialised equipment. These scans can identify any internal issues or errors in the vehicle's electronic systems, including the engine control unit (ECU) and other onboard systems.

Estimation: Based on the findings from the inspection, the inspector creates an estimate of the repair costs. This includes labour, parts, and any additional expenses required to restore the vehicle to its pre-accident condition.

Reporting: The inspector prepares a detailed report that includes the inspection findings, photographs, and estimated repair costs. This report is typically shared with insurance companies, repair shops, or other relevant parties involved in the claims or repair process.

The arch scanner provided by Elscope Vision is an automatic automotive exterior inspection, which improves inspection effectiveness and reduces costs. It can detect damage to the vehicle body, such as scratches and dents.

An inspection report is generated automatically once the automobile drives over the arch scanner and the cameras record any body damage, such as dents, scratches, and other flaws. The client (vehicle owner) may study the report and select the necessary repairs.
