The inspection stays in the tech's head
Flat-rate techs aren't typing a 20-minute report for free. Three words on a ticket — half the story never leaves the bay.
GUS.
Voice-first inspections for independent shops
Your techs find $100 in work. Your shop only sells $42 of it.
Customers never really see what the tech found — so $58 of every $100 drives away.

On a shop writing $60k/month in estimates, that's roughly $34,800 leaving your lot every month.
How GUS works: three steps, zero typing.
Dedicated shop phones in the kit — wifi-only Androids, no earbuds, no typing on a tablet.
01
The tech talks
They tap the big talk button on a shop-provided phone and describe what they see. Say "take a picture" and GUS snaps the photo where it belongs.
02
The customer gets a page they understand
Spoken findings become a photo-backed page in plain English — sorted red, yellow, green, with cost and what happens if it waits.
03
They tap approve
Your advisor reviews and texts the link. The customer sees photos of their own car and taps approve — waiting room or desk.
GUS. Inspection Report
2014 Chevy Silverado · Riverside Auto Care
Example report — not a real customer
Riverside Auto: Hi Dana — your
Silverado's inspection is done. Here's what our tech
found, with photos.
Needs attention
Serpentine belt — cracked
Cracks across the ribs. If it lets go, you lose the
alternator, water pump, and power steering on the spot.
Est. $145 — replace serpentine belt
Good to go
Tires — 7/32" tread
Even wear, plenty left. Nothing to do here.
No action needed
Approve & schedule ✓
Watch it: bay to approve in fifty-four seconds.
Demo walkthrough — not a real customer inspection.
The work gets found. Then it gets lost.
The leak is the twenty feet between the lift and the counter.
The customer hears a sales pitch
A verbal rundown over a noisy counter sounds like every bad shop story they've ever heard. Words alone can't fix that.
"Let me think about it" wins
No photo, no plain-English reason, no easy yes — so they defer. The brakes still need doing. Somewhere else.
✓ Pricing & access
One price. Everything included.
I onboard shops personally, one at a time — so the setup gets real attention, not a queue.
Shop phones in the setup kit
Wifi-only Androids (~$180 each) in tough cases — cheaper to ship phones we know work than to debug every personal device. No catch.
We're with you every step of setup
Your crew keeps wrenching while we get GUS running — through your first real inspections, not a PDF and good luck.

Straight answers
Do my techs need new hardware — or their own phones?
No. Dedicated shop phones from the kit — wifi-only Androids (~$180) in tough cases. No earbuds, no personal phones for work.
I already have a DVI tool. Why add GUS?
Most DVI tools still need typing. GUS replaces that with talking and a plain-English customer page. Runs alongside what you have — no rip-and-replace. Shops with digital inspections also see higher average repair orders (Tekmetric: about $741 vs $612).
What does it cost?
$49/mo for 60 days, then $149/mo with the price held for two years (list is $199/mo). No setup fees, no contract — month to month, cancel anytime.
Will my techs actually use it?
It's one button on a shop phone, not another app to learn. They talk, GUS writes it up. If it doesn't get more found work approved, cancel.
What's the catch?
Short feedback every other week so GUS stays shaped by real floors. In exchange: launch pricing, phones, direct line to me.
