Damage capture

Report a damage on the car diagram: zone, type, severity, description, estimated cost and photos. The agency then takes over the review and repair.

Damage capture describes a defect found on a car precisely: where it is, what type it is, how serious it is and the photos that prove it. You do it during an inspection or at any time from the camera. As an employee you create the report; what follows (review, repair, possibly charging the customer) belongs to the agency managers.
