With the Lot Walk feature, technicians can get customer approval for multiple inspections in an efficient manner. It is especially useful for technicians that need to get a quick approval for all vehicles estimated at customer’s site during the initial walk.

Important! Lot walk inspections must be created for a wholesale customer, saved as final inspections with the 'New' status, and no work order must be created from such inspections.
