Digital vehicle health checks

Run a red, amber, green inspection with notes and photos, attached to the job and printable.

4 min read

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

How a health check works

Work through the checklist on a phone or tablet in the bay, marking each item and adding a photo for anything the customer should see. The check attaches to the vehicle and the job, and prints as a tidy report.

The red, amber, green format builds trust: instead of your word against theirs, the customer can see the worn pad or splitting tyre for themselves.

  • Mark each item green, amber or red.
  • Add notes and photos where it helps.
  • Attached to the vehicle and job, and stored in history.
  • Printable report for the customer.

FAQ

Do health checks help win extra work?

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