What do green, yellow, and red mean on your vehicle inspection report?
You get the inspection report on your phone, you see a wall of yellow and red, and your stomach drops. Here is what those colors actually mean.
Green means good. Nothing needed.
Yellow means recommended. It is something we want to keep an eye on and revisit at your next visit. Yellow is not an emergency and it is not a sales pitch.
Red means required. It needs attention now.
Every report is built as complaint, cause, correction. The complaint is what you brought the vehicle in for. The cause is what our Testing & Analysis found behind it. The correction is what we recommend and why.
In this walkthrough we go through a real report on a vehicle that came in with an air conditioning concern. Low freon was the symptom. Two leaking AC lines were the cause. And because we visually inspect the whole vehicle and check all vital fluids for level and condition on every visit, the report also covers brakes, battery, tires, and what is coming down the road.
People sometimes think a long report means we are selling. We are giving you the full picture of your vehicle’s health so you can plan. Yes, we work on cars.
We are also helping you make financial decisions about one of the most expensive things you own.
