The short answer
What are the Service VIN product spotlights?
The Service VIN product spotlights are one post per feature, each explaining what that feature does in a working shop rather than on a feature grid: what it replaces, what it costs you to set up, what it will not do, and which part of a busy week it is meant to take back.
One post per feature, in plain language, with the limits stated.
Written from the bay: what it replaces, not what it is called.
The quickest way to see whether the product fits how your shop already works.
