Whether you’re an automotive manufacturer, dealer, finance company, bank, large or small fleet operator, auction house or individual vehicle lessee, it’s imperative that you are able to verify the condition of your inventory through standardized inspections that guarantee consistent and accurate reports delivered in a timely manner according to your specifications.
AiM is at the forefront of technology breakthroughs that are revolutionizing the vehicle inspection industry. AiM uses web-based scheduling and logistics integrated with a customer call center to ensure efficiency and customer satisfaction. AiM’s field based inspectors are equipped with Panasonic© Toughbook© tablet computers and 3G cellular capabilities. This state-of-the-art equipment allows clients to cut time from the inspection process, reducing costs. AiM provides an independent, third-party alternative to auctions and contractors for vehicle evaluations.
AiM inspectors are employees who use customized software to ensure vehicles and other properties are inspected to a single standard, regardless of location. We use digital imaging, electronic signature capabilities, and real-time, detailed reporting and assignment tracking software to provide our clients with data analysis and reduce their reliance on outdated paper-based systems.
AiM began its operations in 2005 with the acquisition of AutoComm, Inc., a national provider of new vehicle inspection services. Building on AutoComm’s national presence, AiM quickly expanded its business to include pre-owned vehicles. AiM was founded on the fact that existing inspection companies weren’t reacting to a changing world of technology and did not bring an OEM/financial perspective to the business. AiM President and CEO, Jim Yates, founded the company after a 30-year career in the auto industry, most recently as Nissan’s Director of Remarketing. He built a management team with significant hands-on field inspection experience combined with an OEM/Financial perspective. Collectively, AiM management boasts more than a century of experience in key fields such as remarketing, vehicle inspections, fleet management, transportation, information technology and fleet portfolio performance. They have built AiM into a unique, customer-focused vehicle inspection company that embraces technology to deliver process-driven accuracy, consistency, quality, real-time availability and true, third party independence.
AiM’s corporate office is located in Long Beach, California, but nearly all of its 500 employees are field-based to provide local coverage throughout the U.S. and Canada. With more than 10-million vehicles inspected annually, AiM is well-positioned to significantly increase its business as the automotive industry adopts high technology answers to the challenges of efficiently managing new and used vehicle fleets. AiM is uniquely equipped to meet these challenges with industry-leading customer service, proven management, competitive pricing, advanced IT solutions, new car and used car inspection synergy and a national footprint -- all in the industry’s first truly independent, third party inspection company with no conflicts of interest or hidden agendas. AiM is the new standard in new and used vehicle inspections. |
