Automotive Inspection Consulting

Build an inspection operation that gives customers clearer reports and gives your team a repeatable way to deliver them. Antone Hempstock offers practical consulting on inspection workflows, reporting, field-team coordination, and customer communication.

For inspection companies and teams that rely on them

This work is suited to inspection startups, established providers, and businesses reviewing how inspections fit into their operations. Antone founded and sold Lemon Squad and is building Clunker Busters. Consulting draws on that automotive business background.

What we can work through

• Order intake: capture vehicle details, access instructions, customer expectations, and the purpose of the inspection.
• Field workflow: clarify assignments, inspection scope, required photos, and escalation when access or conditions prevent completion.
• Report quality: separate observations from assumptions, explain limitations, and make reports easier to review.
• Customer updates: define who communicates delays, missing information, and next steps.
• Operations review: identify where work stalls, gets repeated, or depends on the owner being available.

Start with one concrete problem

Bring a sample report with private customer details removed, a simple outline of your current process, and the question you want to resolve. Useful starting points include inconsistent reports, repeated customer questions, slow handoffs, or preparing a new inspection service.

In the conversation, we can map the current process, discuss the bottleneck, and identify a practical next step. Any ongoing work or implementation can be discussed separately.
