Digital vehicle health checks

Run a digital vehicle health check on a phone or tablet: mark each item Pass, Advisory or Fail, add photos, flag urgent faults and keep a report against the vehicle.

2 min read

A digital vehicle health check turns an inspection into a clear report the customer can understand. Each item is marked Pass, Advisory or Fail, with notes and photos where something needs explaining.

Doing a health check

Open Health Checks → New Health Check on a phone or tablet in the bay. Look up the vehicle by registration, then work through the checklist.

  • Mark each item Pass, Advisory or Fail.
  • Add notes and photos to any section where it helps.
  • Flag urgent faults so they stand out.

Reports and faults

Finished checks are saved under Health Checks → Reports, where you can view, print or export them to PDF.

Reported faults are listed under Health Checks → Faults, so problems you've found don't get forgotten.

Use your own health check sheet

Health checks work straight away with the built-in checklist. On a paid plan you can upload your own sheet under Health Checks → Upload Health Check, so the checklist matches the one your team already uses.

Why it helps

The Pass, Advisory and Fail format builds trust: instead of your word against theirs, the customer can see the worn pad or splitting tyre for themselves.

FAQ

Do health checks help win extra work?

When done honestly, yes. Failed items become approved work now, and advisories give a genuine reason to book the car back in, with a record that you flagged it.

Can I use my own checklist?

Yes, on a paid plan. Upload it under Health Checks → Upload Health Check.
