MVIRS Cost/Benefit Analysis

The benefits of MVIRS are both intangible and tangible. Intangible benefits include the professional-looking Customer Inspection Report that can be given to the customer. Additionally, state inspection records will be more accurate and legible, leading to fewer problems with your Quality Assurance Officer.

The main tangible benefit is the reduced time, and therefore money, required to complete MV-431 and MV-480 Inspection Record forms.

Example 1

Assume a small inspection station that performs 600 inspections per year. The shop labor rate is $65. We will conservatively estimate that MVIRS saves an average of 3 minutes per inspection.

Total minutes saved (600 * 3) 1,800
Value of minutes saved based upon labor rate ($65 * (1,800 / 60 min.)) $1,950
First year cost of MVIRS plus scanner $733
Subsequent years cost of MVIRS $468
First Year Savings: $1,217
Second Year Savings: $1,482

Example 2

Assume a dealership performing 5,000 inspections per year. The shop labor rate is $85. Again, we’ll use an average of 3 minutes saved per inspection.

Total minutes saved (5,000 * 3) 15,000
Value of minutes saved based upon labor rate ($85 * (15,000 / 60 min.)) $21,250
First year cost of MVIRS plus scanner $733
Subsequent years cost of MVIRS $468
First Year Savings: $20,517
Second Year Savings: $20,782
