addedThe devil is in the detailsOnce you initiate the inspection, you will use your tablet to evaluate the car's condition.

Trust, but verify
When a customer brings a car back, they will often assure you that everything is perfectly fine and the ride was flawless. At this point, you have a strategic decision to make: process the return immediately without an inspection, or take the time to thoroughly examine the vehicle. Skipping the check might save you a brief moment, but in this business, relying purely on a customer's good word is a risk. A proper inspection is your primary tool for maintaining your fleet's quality and securing additional revenue.
