This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.
Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.
Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.
Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.

A digital vehicle inspection is only as valuable as the care behind it. Champion University helps shops build an inspection process their entire team can follow—and their customers can understand.
Learn how to document vehicle condition with clear photos, accurate measurements, useful notes, and consistent recommendations. Give technicians a dependable process, give advisors meaningful information, and give customers a clear view of what their vehicle needs.
Give every team member a clear process for checking, documenting, and grading vehicle conditions.
Use focused photos, measurements, and notes to show what was inspected and why it matters.
Help customers understand what needs attention now, what can wait, and what to plan for next.
The Champion University DVI Bible Series was created to give every person in the shop a clear role in the digital inspections process. Instead of relying on individual habits, memory, or varying opinions about what a “good inspection” entails, the series establishes one consistent standard for documenting vehicle condition, grading findings, taking useful photos, recording measurements, and explaining recommendations to the customer.
Each edition is crafted for a different position. The Technician Edition emphasizes inspection accuracy, documentation, measurements, and photos while focusing on identifying concerns without guessing or exaggerating. The Service Advisor Edition guides advisors on how to review the inspection, ask better questions, organize findings, set clear expectations, and assist customers in making informed decisions without pressure. The Owner and Manager Edition outlines how to implement the process, train the team, measure performance, correct breakdowns, and build accountability without turning every mistake into a punishment.
Together, the series supports shops in reducing missed work, preventing inconsistent recommendations, improving communication, and creating vehicle inspection training that customers can understand and trust. It is not just a guide to completing a DVI; it is a complete operating standard designed to protect the customer, the technician, and the business while fostering a more professional and dependable service experience.


The Owner and Manager Edition of Champion University DVI focuses on implementation, training, accountability, and performance. It equips leaders with the tools to establish a repeatable DVI process for digital inspections, measure results, identify breakdowns, and ensure consistency across the entire shop without relying on a single person to manage everything, making it an essential resource for vehicle inspection training.

The Service Advisor Edition from Champion University DVI teaches advisors how to review digital inspections, ask better questions, organize recommendations, and explain vehicle needs clearly. It assists advisors in guiding customers through the vehicle inspection process without pressure, confusion, or unnecessary technical language.

The Technician Edition, a part of Champion University DVI, establishes a consistent standard for accurate digital inspections, useful photos, proper measurements, clear notes, and honest color grading. It helps technicians document their findings during vehicle inspection training, reduce missed concerns, and create reports that both the advisor and customer can trust.

A strong inspection starts with careful work in the shop. Learn how to inspect with intention, capture useful evidence, record accurate measurements, and write notes that help the next person understand what you found.

Customers lose confidence when the same vehicle gets different recommendations depending on who inspects it. The Champion DVI Playbook helps your team follow a consistent inspection standard, so findings are supported by evidence and customers know what to trust.

Recommending a service the customer recently completed can undermine the entire inspection. Reviewing previous findings, completed work, and declined recommendations helps your team explain what has changed and why a recommendation matters now.

A long list of recommendations can overwhelm customers. The Playbook helps advisors separate immediate concerns from upcoming repairs and routine maintenance, giving customers a clear plan they can understand and act on.

An inspection delivered when the customer is ready to leave leaves little room for a meaningful conversation. Building inspection and presentation time into your workflow gives advisors time to explain—and customers time to decide.

Technicians need to know their findings will be explained accurately. Advisors need documentation they can confidently stand behind. Shared standards for photos, measurements, and notes help both sides work together and give customers a consistent message.

An unexpected inspection can feel like an unexpected sales pitch. Explaining the process at check-in makes the DVI a normal part of the visit, so customers understand what they will receive and how it helps them care for their vehicle.

Your DVI is more than a collection of photos. It’s how your team shows customers what was inspected, what was found, and why a recommendation matters.
The Champion DVI Playbook gives shop owners a practical standard for bringing technicians and advisors onto the same page—from documenting vehicle conditions to presenting clear, evidence-based findings. Build a process your team can follow and your customers can understand.
Start with the free 28-page preview and see what a stronger DVI standard can look like in your shop.
