In one aspect, a computerized method useful for three-dimensional (3D) model data rendering and information capturing during a vehicle inspection check-in process for service comprising includes the step of providing a vehicle for a check-in inspection. The computerized method includes the step of obtaining a vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle. The computerized method includes the step of, based on the VIN of the vehicle, obtaining a 3D vehicle model data. The 3D vehicle model data matches a type of the vehicle. The 3D vehicle model data is generated from a manufacturer's three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) model data of the type of the vehicle.
