In the ever-evolving world of automotive service, Garage 54 in Paris, ON, stands at the forefront of innovation with its cutting-edge Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) process. We get it – your car isn’t just a way to get from A to B; it’s a big part of your daily routine. That’s why we’re here, committed to giving you a complete and clear inspection that keeps your worries at bay. Below, we’ll talk about digital inspections, how we do them at Garage 54, and how we use special software to make your experience even better.
Traditional vehicle inspections have been the norm for many years. They typically involve a mechanic visually inspecting various aspects of your vehicle, which might include checking fluids, belts, hoses, brakes, and more. While these inspections serve a purpose, they have their limitations. They rely heavily on the technician’s ability to spot issues and communicate them to you effectively. Additionally, it can be challenging to maintain detailed records of these inspections, making it difficult to track the history of your vehicle’s maintenance accurately.
Digital Vehicle Inspection, on the other hand, is a modern approach that leverages technology to provide a more thorough, efficient, and transparent inspection process. At Garage 54, we have embraced DVI as an integral part of our service. This innovative method involves using digital vehicle inspection software and a mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone, to conduct comprehensive multi-point inspections.
DVI differs from traditional inspections in several key ways:
Enhanced Accuracy: Digital inspections rely on technology, reducing the margin of error. Technicians use an inspection app that provides them with a structured checklist, ensuring that no aspect of your vehicle is overlooked.
Visual Documentation: DVI allows us to capture pictures and videos of any vehicle issues we encounter during the inspection. This visual documentation is a powerful tool for both our technicians and customers.
Transparency: With digital inspections, you receive a detailed inspection report that outlines the condition of your vehicle, including any issues found, recommended repairs, and their respective urgency. This transparency builds trust between us and our customers.
Historical Records: All DVI reports are stored digitally, creating a comprehensive history of your vehicle’s maintenance. This historical data can be invaluable in tracking the overall health of your vehicle.
The digital vehicle inspection process at Garage 54 is straightforward yet highly effective. Here’s how it works:
Initial Assessment: When you bring your vehicle to our auto repair shop, one of our certified technicians will conduct an initial assessment. They will greet you and discuss any specific concerns or issues you may have noticed with your vehicle.
Mobile Device and Inspection App: The technician will then use a mobile device equipped with our inspection app. This app provides a structured checklist covering all critical areas of your vehicle, ensuring a thorough inspection.
Comprehensive Inspection: The technician will visually inspect various components of your vehicle, taking pictures and videos as needed to document any issues or concerns. Having these records is crucial to make sure you fully know what’s going on with your car.
Digital Vehicle Inspection Software: Our state-of-the-art digital vehicle inspection software streamlines the process by organizing the inspection checklist and storing all relevant data electronically.
Real-Time Communication: If any issues are identified during the inspection, the technician can communicate with you in real-time, providing a clear explanation and any necessary recommendations.
Detailed Report: After the inspection is complete, you will receive a detailed inspection report that includes all findings, recommended repairs, and their respective priorities. This report is accessible on your mobile device or computer, allowing you to review it at your convenience.
A digital vehicle inspection report generated at Garage 54 is a comprehensive document that provides you with a wealth of information about your vehicle’s condition. Here are the key components typically included:
Vehicle Information: Your vehicle’s make, model, year, and mileage are recorded at the beginning of the report for reference.
Multi-Point Inspection Checklist: A detailed checklist covers various aspects of your vehicle, including the engine, transmission, brakes, tires, suspension, electrical system, and more.
Visual Documentation: Pictures and videos of any issues or concerns found during the inspection are included, providing a clear visual reference.
Issue Description: Each problem or concern is described in detail, explaining the nature of the issue and its potential impact on your vehicle’s performance and safety.
Recommended Repairs: The report outlines recommended repairs or maintenance tasks, including the estimated cost and priority level for each item.
Urgency Levels: Repairs are categorized into different urgency levels, such as “Immediate Attention,” “Recommended,” or “Future Consideration,” allowing you to prioritize maintenance based on your budget and safety concerns.
Maintenance History: The report may also include a summary of your vehicle’s maintenance history, highlighting any recurring issues or ongoing concerns.
Technician Notes: Personalized notes from the technician may provide additional context or explanations for specific recommendations.
Absolutely! At Garage 54, we believe in transparency and convenience for our customers. Accessing your digital vehicle inspection report is easy and user-friendly. Here’s how it works:
Real-Time Access: As the technician conducts the inspection, the data is entered into our digital vehicle inspection software in real-time. This means that you can access the report while you are at our auto repair shop.
Mobile-Friendly: The report is accessible on your mobile device, tablet, or computer. You can log in to our system using a secure account created for you.
Email Notification: You will receive an email notification when your inspection report is ready for review. This email will include a link that takes you directly to your personalized report.
Detailed Review: Once you open the report, you can review all the information, including pictures, videos, issue descriptions, and recommended repairs.
Discussion with Technicians: If you have any questions or need further clarification, you can discuss the report with our technicians in person or via phone or email.
Convenient Decision-Making: Armed with this comprehensive information, you can make informed decisions about your vehicle’s maintenance and repairs. You have the flexibility to choose which recommended repairs to proceed with based on your priorities and budget.
Historical Records: All your inspection reports are stored securely in our system, allowing you to track the maintenance history of your vehicle over time.

Great and friendly rural Ontario service! I was only in to have my vehicle rust proofed but while sitting in the waiting room I observed excellent communication with customers and among the staff. Customers were kept up to date on the progress of there repairs. Some were told their vehicles would be ready early and for customers whose cars would be delayed, they were notified immediately with an apology and a thorough explanation of the reason for the delay.

I drove from Hamilton to get my Jeep oil sprayed. As soon as I entered I felt the vibe. It was welcoming, friendly. I wish the shop was closer but it was worth the drive.

The staff at Garage 54 provide a pleasant experience for their customers while conducting the work on your vehicle with professionalism, courtesy, and competence. While this was my first visit, I was struck that every customer had a positive attitude towards the staff, which speaks volumes. Happy clientele is a strong indication of the experience.

Took my car to have the corrosion free under coating applied at Garage 54 this week. It was my first time there and they were very polite, professional and friendly. They did a very thorough job and cleaned up any over spray. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!

Great team, great service. Solved a problem on my truck that was difficult to diagnose. Thanks very much.

Having had to find a garage that could do this work for me was a challenge. I searched on google and found Garage 54. I tried them for the first time and can say that their professionallism is top notch. They did the repair on time and at the price they gave me when I first called them. I will definitely use them again in the future as well as recommending them to friends.

Had my 2021 Ford Transit 250 serviced at Garage54 recently and overall it was a good experience. Even though I live in Hamilton I would rather drive to Brantford and deal with the people I trust. My truck is a commercial truck which I use every day for my delivery business , so it is important to me to deal with a garage I can trust and relay on. The entire staff including the owner Tim is easy to talk to, they would explain everything in details, so that way you know exactly what to expect. I don't work for them and this review is strictly based on my own experience with this garage.

Prompt and thorough service by very pleasant people.

My first time here and the service was definitely 5 star. I had been referred to Garage 54 for a follow up Corrosion Free undercoating and they certainly surpassed my expectations. I will encourage others to attend this business for their follow up undercoating appts as well.

Always amazing service and friendly helpful staff. I’ve taken my vehicles here for a few years now and trust their service techs will do a fabulous job! Adding to my review above, I again had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional service provided by Garage 54, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Their honest and trustworthy approach to vehicle maintenance is truly unparalleled. Every interaction I've had with them has been marked by transparency and dedication, making it clear that they prioritize their customers' needs above all else. I've been so impressed with their service that I've recommended Garage 54 to family and friends, all of whom have shared similar positive experiences. Their commitment to delivering quality care and their unwavering reliability have earned my deepest appreciation. It's rare to find such a dependable auto service provider, and Garage 54 has certainly set a high standard in the industry. My little one goes straight for the suckers on the counter :) Thank you Tim, Jeff, and everyone on your team!!

Communicative, easy to get ahold of, reasonable wait times for appointments and service. Fairly priced and the work is always done right the first time.

Best service I've ever received, my car runs so smooth now and they even caught my cat after it snuck into my vehicle with the tow company 😆

This garage was the best garage I’ve used! (Coming from a women who doesn’t know much about Vehicle’s) I will definitely be going back for any work that is needed in the future!
Stephanie Thomas Dec 12, 2023
Tim and his guys are top notch!! Been taking our vehicles there for a number of years now. Keep up the great work!!!!
Gary Hill Nov 11, 2023
This is an upstanding shop run by great, honest, hard working people. Owner Tim, service scheduler Jeff, and mechanic Jay went absolutely above and beyond for my old Toyota in every way. I had a complicated to do list and Jeff spent a lot of extra time finding part options and making sure I could do it how I wanted, and Tim was very supportive of my plans and explained certain technical things to me when necessary. Jay did extra research on some stuff I was curious about and did great work. I can't say enough good things. Very thorough, very professional, and I had a long list but still, reasonably priced work. They have earned my trust and respect! Lucky to have a repair shop like Garage54 locally
lauren Oct 10, 2023
I really appreciate the thorough approach to the repairs. I feel that my vehicle has been assessed beyond just what was needing repair which I find really helpful. They're often busy but get me in when they say which is very valuable to me and the repairs are done in reasonable time.
Dan Van Delden May 5, 2023
These guys are honest and very knowledgeable. Great first time experience!
G Dolick Mar 3, 2023
My old jeep has seen alot of miles and these guys still seem to amaze with the service. Personally, they've patched everything from brake lines to transmission gears and never failed me. Just for figures, I drive a 1988 Jeep wrangler with more than 200 thousand Km of wear and tear worn into its bearings, this shop has been around since 4 years before it was made!! They know how to take care of your dearly loved oldies and beautiful new models too! Year after year they still have my business and my trust!
Jenny Kender Nov 11, 2022
I have been coming to Agritech Auto for 12 years and I wouldn’t take my vehicle anywhere else. I trust them completely.
Audra Ann Nov 11, 2022
Good people.
Julia Clitheroe Aug 8, 2022
They advertise as “honest” and they are!! Excellent mechanics, all around
Teresa Deraspe Jul 7, 2022
I always take my vehicles to Agritech, their team is knowledgeable, helpful, and never make me feel silly for asking questions. I tell anyone and everyone, if they want a good, reliable, and trustworthy mechanic, go to Agritech on hwy 54.
Alkiie Froman Feb 2, 2022
Not quite the same once Willy left. But the new staff in the actual automotive building is extremely kind, knowledgeable, and honest. Thank you for re-instilling confidence in this business
Jeremiah Gerrard Sep 9, 2021
I need a second brake in my car for work. It's quite a job to put one in. Rick was the mechanic that installed it for me. I am completely thrilled and pleased with the job he did. Rick ... you're the man!!! Thank you
Liz Hmphrey Dec 12, 2021
They are amazing!!!
