You shouldn't be collecting basic details by phone while you're driving out to inspect the car.
A used-car inspector's day is full of "can you come look at this one" calls — and every quote and time slot depends on details you have to pry out first. That front-end collection eats the day and happens at the worst possible times.
01 The pain
The phone rings all day with buyers asking you to check out a car. Before you can quote or schedule, you need the basics — year, mileage, where the seller is — and pulling those out one call at a time is the job before the job.
Too often that means fielding questions from behind the wheel, on your way to the last inspection, trying to write down a VIN and a neighbourhood while you drive.
02 Where your software stops
CARFAX and CarProof will tell you a car's accident history — they won't collect the caller's basic details, quote a fit, or find you a time slot. That front-end work isn't what those tools are for.
So the intake stays fully manual: every quote and every booking waits on a phone call you have to answer live, whenever it comes.
History reports check the car. They don't gather the caller's details or fill your schedule.
03 Why you can't just offshore it
An offshore team can't make an early read on a vehicle's condition, and it doesn't know Manitoba's used-car transfer path — the MPI safety inspection questions buyers actually ask. That's local, technical ground.
I build a front-end intake layer that gathers year, mileage, and seller area up front, so you only roll out for inspections that are genuinely confirmed — not maybes.
04 The gap I fill
I build the intake layer that collects the basics before you ever pick up — clean summaries of each car and seller, a suggested quote range, and a slot that fits your route — so your driving time is spent driving, not interviewing.
It handles the questions it can answer from MPI transfer basics, and links every answer to its source. Nothing is quoted or booked until you review it and approve — and if it can't verify a detail, it says "not found" instead of guessing.
