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.
