Digital vehicle health check software for UK independent garages
Pass, advisory or fail on every item, photos attached, a printable customer report generated automatically — built in to GarageDash at no extra cost.
Paper vehicle health checks get lost, are hard to read, and give customers nothing to look at when you recommend extra work. GarageDash's digital vehicle health check turns that process into a tablet-based inspection that's faster for the technician and more convincing for the customer.
How it rates each item
Technicians work through the vehicle — brakes, tyres, fluids, lights, suspension and more — marking each item pass, advisory, or fail. Anything flagged as advisory or fail can have a photo attached directly from the tablet or phone, so the customer sees exactly what was found.
How it works, start to finish
Open the job sheet
The inspection is attached to the vehicle's existing job, so there's no separate system to juggle.
Run the inspection
Work through each item on a tablet or phone, marking pass/advisory/fail and attaching photos as you go.
Generate the customer report
A printable report is produced automatically, ready to talk the customer through or send ahead of collection.
Convert advisories into quoted work
Turn flagged items straight into a quote without re-entering anything.
Included in the £29/month subscription
Digital vehicle health checks are part of GarageDash's standard plan — no per-inspection fee, no per-photo fee, no separate VHC module to buy. It's included whether you're on the desktop app or the browser-based web app, and covered by the same 14-day free trial as everything else.
Frequently asked
What is a digital vehicle health check?
A digital vehicle health check (VHC) is a structured inspection carried out on a tablet or phone instead of paper, where a technician marks each item (brakes, tyres, fluids, lights, and so on) as pass, advisory, or fail, attaches photos of anything needing attention, and generates a report the customer can review before authorising further work.
Does GarageDash include digital vehicle health checks?
Yes. Digital vehicle health checks are included in GarageDash's standard £29/month subscription, with no extra fee per inspection or per photo. Technicians can complete checks from a tablet in the workshop, and the system produces a printable customer report automatically.
Can customers see photos of the fault before approving work?
Yes. Each advisory or fail item can have photos attached, so the customer report shows exactly what the technician found alongside the pass/advisory/fail rating, which helps build trust and reduces disputes over recommended work.
