New AI vehicle inspection tech reshapes how dealers evaluate, acquire, and protect vehicles

Click-Ins technology conducts thousands of daily inspections for auction clients in the U.S.
AI Vehicle Inspection tool

A new AI-driven vehicle inspection platform, developed by Israeli startup Click-Ins, is now available to U.S. insurers and dealers. The tool utilizes photogrammetry, 3D modeling, and AI to identify both visible and hidden vehicle damage for just a few smartphone photos. For dealerships, this mean faster, more reliable appraisals, better protection against fraudulent damage claims and new opportunities to improve service lane profitability.

Here’s why it matters:

This innovative technology enables dealers to detect both visible and hidden vehicle damage. It can boost efficiency in the appraisal process, help acquire higher-quality used inventory and create upselling opportunities within the service drive.

In addition, dealers who incorporate the technology into their process add a layer of protection over their service department, making it easier to protect themselves from potential fraudulent claims that a vehicle was damaged at the dealership.

    The technology utilizes photogrammetry, 3D modeling, and AI integration to generate accurate vehicle damage reports.
  • Boosts efficiency in the fixed ops department
    The new technology can streamline the appraisal process, helping dealers secure used inventory directly from customers in the service lane.
  • Spot damage that’s not easily seen
    Click-Ins can help teams more accurately evaluate the condition of a vehicle before and after it’s been leased, the condition of loaner cars before and after, and offer repair upsells to customers with vehicles with hidden damage.
  • Protects the service department from fraud
    Dealers who incorporate the Click-Ins technology into their process can protect their service departments from fraudulent damage claims.
  • Use the technology nearly anywhere
    Unlike fixed camera tunnel systems, Click-Ins leverages photos from smartphones, making the technology scalable and highly mobile.
