Vehicle Health Check (VHC): The Digital Backbone of Modern Service


It is an automotive evergreen; customers expect transparency and speed during vehicle repairs. On the other hand, dealers need to be efficient and earn customers' trust. Implementing a Vehicle Health Check VHC offers benefits to both parties. It allows dealers to go paperless, turning the service lane into a modern digital workshop where every service visit becomes a clear, data-driven conversation that drives greater data collection and upselling. 

 

Why dealers go digital
Let me clarify why we think dealers are shifting to digital channels. See four of them now: 

  • Transparency: Provide customers with a clear, detailed digital overview of their vehicle’s condition.
  • Trust: Visual evidence and structured checks prove the work is necessary.
  • Upsell: Early identification of maintenance needs enables advisors to recommend appropriate repairs at the right time.
  • Safety: Identify vehicle issues requiring immediate attention.
