How Does a Digital Vehicle Inspection Work?
A digital vehicle inspection is a thorough, photo-documented assessment of your vehicle's condition delivered as a digital report to your phone. The Hop Shop performs digital inspections on-site at your location — your technician inspects key systems, photographs findings, and delivers a clear, organized report through The Hop Shop App showing exactly what's in good condition, what needs attention, and what requires immediate repair.

How the Digital Report Is Delivered
All findings are organized into three categories in your Hop Shop App report: items in good condition, items to monitor, and items needing immediate attention. Each finding includes technician notes and photos so you can see exactly what was observed — not just read a description of it.
Why Digital Inspections Are Better Than Paper
Traditional inspection reports are paper checklists with checkmarks. Digital inspections include photos, measurements, and technician notes — stored permanently in your app account. You can reference your inspection history, share it with another mechanic, use it for vehicle resale, or simply review it at any time.
