Defectbird Keeps the Vehicle Inspection From Vanishing Into a Folder

Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A vehicle-inspection checklist sizes the work, prices findings against a shop's own rates, and offers a recordkeeping layer for signed inspections.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-07 issue.

Field notes

The checklist is framed around a repair-shop calculation: inspection duration and the value of work authorised from its findings appear side by side, using the shop's own rates. The page gives an example of an 18-minute inspection and tracks red and yellow items, including photos and technician notes. A separate Pro plan is described as retaining signed inspections by vehicle, customer, and technician, with one $29 monthly seat for each technician who signs.
