I like this process a lot, unfortunately we don't take our pictures, we have a 3rd party and most smaller dealer do, so your waiting on them to get your pictures done. But this is something I am going to look into. Only issue is you need quality control to inspect the vehicle coming out of the shop, making sure now grease foot prints, finger prints, etc.
I am a third party photo guy. We hit our stores a minimum of 2 times a week, so worse case it sits clean for a day. I'd rather hold off the shop for a day to have photos of a clean car. Our biggest issue is having cars sit for days at a time and not being cleaned, then the dealer wants to know why it has no photos. You would be amazed how many times they ask why a car is a week old with no photos and I tell them it's not detailed yet. I have driven to the dealers to show them the cars. If you stop looking at a no photo list and start looking at the cars themselves, it will make your process better. Just because a car is on a "no photo" report does not mean it is ready to have them taken...
