You can use MVIRS to start every job you do, whether or not an inspection will be performed.

MVIRS automatically inserts the customer and vehicle into your shop management system, even if it’s not open.

It allows you to set up a new repair order (RO), or add an inspection job to an existing RO.

MVIRS lets you easily calculate the inspection record ‘Total Cost Plus Tax’. Choose safety-related parts and labor from an MVIRS-provided list of all RO items and the total is calculated automatically.

Inspection results are automatically added to the RO when the inspection is finished.

Supported shop management systems include Mitchell 1 Teamworks SE and ShopKey Teamworks SE.

MVIRS supports all vehicles requiring annual inside, semi-annual inside or annual outside stickers. This includes trucks, buses, trailers and motorcycles. Additionally, implements of husbandry, emergency vehicles, and vehicles registered with combined weights are supported.

Enhanced safety inspection stations can record RECON, SPECON and MODIFY inspections for title application. When the inspection is complete, you can print the MV-426B with most information automatically included.

You can quickly find any inspection ever recorded in MVIRS by searching for registrant, plate, sticker number, VIN or work order.

The following reports and more are available

• MV-431 Inspection Record (Annual/Semi-Annual)

• MV-480 Inspection Record (Trailers/Motorcycles)

• Sticker Usage

• Replacement Stickers

• Voided Stickers

• Customer Inspection Report

• Inspection Check List

• Visual Anti-Tampering Results

• MV-443 Certified Safety Inspection Mechanics

• MV-516 Certified Emission Inspectors

After the first year, MVIRS can quickly identify vehicles coming due for inspection based upon the last sticker expiration recorded. You can have it look for expirations in one or multiple months.

You can e-mail inspection reminders directly from MVIRS with a single click for all customers for which you’ve recorded e-mail addresses.

MVIRS can also print mailing labels, which you can affix to pre-printed postcards. Inspection reminder mailing labels contain the customer name and address, vehicle description and month inspection due.

Additionally, you can print general purpose mailing labels for all or alphabetic groups of customers containing name and address only. Use these labels to advertise specials, send holiday greetings, etc.

When you receive a sticker batch from PennDOT, record it in MVIRS by entering the first sticker number and quantity. Each time an inspection is finished, the next available sticker is assigned from the current batch. MVIRS automatically begins using the next sticker batch when the last sticker of the current batch has been assigned.

You can void a sticker on a completed inspection, and optionally tell MVIRS to assign the next available sticker to that inspection.

Additionally, you can mark a single sticker, or a group of stickers missing, stolen or unused.

MVIRS can print the MV-436A (sticker order form) with all information included.

To help you avoid over-ordering stickers, MVIRS can estimate the number of stickers required to complete the current campaign year. Estimates are based on your shop’s sticker issuance in the previous year.

MVIRS backs up its database automatically each time an inspection is finished. It then uploads the backup to the MVIRS Service Center in the cloud. Having backups stored “offsite” is the only reliable way to protect your inspection data from loss due to theft, fire, etc.
