Pre-purchase inspection platform

Finish the inspection before you leave the lot.

PPiPro.Click runs the whole pre-purchase inspection end to end — a checklist you control, a condition grid, photos embedded as you shoot them, and a branded PDF in the customer's hands minutes after you close the hood. It opens in any browser, so it works the same on the phone in the bay and the desktop back at the office.

  • One-time purchase
  • Nothing to install
  • Your branding on every page

How it works

Four steps from the walkaround to a delivered PDF.

  1. 01

    Decode the VIN

    Type the 17-digit VIN and the year, make and model arrive from the NHTSA database. Add mileage, plate and colors and the identification page is done.

  2. 02

    Work the checklist

    Work through the sections, rate the condition grid and leave comments where they matter — one thumb on a phone, or a keyboard on a laptop.

  3. 03

    Shoot the photos

    Straight from the camera or the file picker, captioned and compressed on the way in, so the finished file stays small enough to text.

  4. 04

    Send the report

    The PDF is built on the spot and goes out by text, email or share link before you pull off the lot. The customer opens it and understands it — no follow-up call to walk them through it.

Half-finished inspections save as drafts, so a garage with no signal is not a lost job. Pick it back up when you have bars.

Features

Built around the way the job actually runs.

In the field

A checklist that covers the car

Under hood, battery, underside, brakes, tread depth, exterior panels, interior and lights. Mark a whole section as checked and OK with one shortcut.

Your checklist, your order

Add, rename or delete any item, drag items between sections, reorder whole sections — and reset to the factory list whenever you want to start clean.

Smart VIN decoding

Year, make and model come straight from the official NHTSA database. Body style, colors, plate and odometer each have their own field.

Same quality, smaller file

Shoot or upload and every photo is optimised on the way in — the detail the customer needs to see stays sharp, while the finished report stays light enough to text or email without it bouncing back.

On the page

Five-status legend

Each item prints in the customer's language, not a code — so the report is read at a glance instead of explained over the phone.

  • Checked & OK
  • Normal wear
  • Future attention
  • Immediate fix
  • Not applicable

Anything left unmarked is left off the report — no empty rows implying something was skipped.

Six-level condition grid

Poor through Excellent across 26 components — body, paint, frame, glass, seats, carpets, trunk and the rest — with N/A for the ones a sedan simply doesn't have.

Options & equipment

A label-and-value schedule — Engine, Transmission, Wheels, Modifications — printed as its own page. Paste a block of text and it splits into rows for you.

Notes that keep formatting

As many titled sections as you want — Summary of Findings, Road Test, Recommendations — with bold, italic, underline and lists that print exactly as typed.

Around the job

White-label letterhead

Your logo, business name, address, phone, website and disclaimer on every page, plus an About page in your own words and a signature block at the end.

Attach the paperwork

Up to 20 files appended to the back — service records, registration, estimates, screenshots. PDFs are copied page-for-page, even locked printouts.

Drafts, history, cloning

Unfinished inspections save as drafts, finished ones are searchable by vehicle or VIN, and any past report can be cloned as the start of the next one.

The report

What the customer actually receives.

A letterhead PDF that reads like your business wrote it, because it did. Pages appear only when they have something to say, so a quick inspection stays short and a full appraisal runs as long as it needs to.

One tap sends it by text, email or share link — and the customer gets it without you on the phone.

Green, blue, amber and red do the explaining. A buyer sees what is fine, what will need attention and what needs fixing now in the first few seconds, with your comment and a captioned photo beside anything that matters. That is the half-hour walkthrough call you no longer have to make.

Primary Most reports run this way

Pre-Purchase Inspection

The core of the platform. A clean, color-coded inspection a buyer reads in two minutes and a mechanic can defend line by line — checklist, condition grid, comments and captioned photos, with no appraisal pages in the way. Send the link and the questions answer themselves.

Also included — five appraisal types

Total Loss

A short, carrier-ready document stating a single actual cash value rather than a range.

Diminished Value

Pre-loss and minimum diminished value, supported by the findings from the inspection.

Classic Vehicle

Built for an options schedule as long as a collector or modified car deserves.

Auction Arbitration

Captures the sale and disclosure record — lane and run, sale date, announced light, what was announced — then the findings and the cost to correct.

Finance Appraisal

Addressed to the lender or client by name, with the letter, stipulations and signature page.

On appraisal types only

Comparable listing research, if you want it

When a report calls for a figure, the app can search the web for comparable vehicles, bring back the price, mileage and source for each, then open every link to confirm it is still live before printing it. Choose a local, regional or nationwide search area — or skip the whole thing and type comparables in yourself. Leave the value blank and no figure appears anywhere on the document.

Comparable vehiclesSearch area: regional
012019 4Runner SR574,900 mi$31,450
022019 4Runner SR580,110 mi$29,995
032018 4Runner SR576,400 mi$28,700

A link is only printed if the app could open it. Anything it cannot confirm prints by price and source instead, with the address held back.

Good to know

It's optional, and it's cheap

The research feature uses your own Claude API key, added once in Settings — about 10¢ per search, and repeating the same vehicle within 30 minutes is free. Everything else in the platform works without a key at all.

FAQ

Questions we get every week

Is this a subscription? +

No. $499 once, and the platform is yours. There is no monthly fee, no per-report fee and no seat licensing — put as many inspectors on it as you like.

Does anyone need to install an app? +

No. It runs in the mobile browser on iOS and Android and on desktop, so there is nothing to download from an app store and nothing to update on each phone when something changes.

Can I change the checklist? +

Yes. Add, rename or delete any item, drag items between sections, reorder whole sections, and reset to the factory list whenever you want to start clean. Anything you leave unmarked is left off the printed report, so the document only shows what you actually looked at.

Can I put my own company on the reports? +

Yes — logo, business name, address, phone, website, disclaimer and an About page in your own words, on every page of every report. The checklist is yours to rewrite too, so the document reads like your process rather than someone else's template.

Where do the finished reports live? +

In your own Google Drive, logged to your own Google Sheet, under your own login. From the success screen you can send the PDF by text, email or share link straight away.

What if the vehicle has no cell signal? +

Work is saved as a draft you can resume, so a bad-signal garage is not a lost inspection. Decoding a VIN and generating the PDF both need a connection.

Do I have to state a value on a report? +

No. A pre-purchase inspection carries no figure at all unless you add one, and on appraisal types you can leave the value blank so nothing prints. Total loss reports are the exception in the other direction: they state a single actual cash value, because that is what a carrier settles on.
