Workshop vehicle inspection app for booking-in and hand-back
The dent was there when it came in — but you have to be able to show it. vehReports gives UK garages, valeters and restoration specialists a photographed, customer-signed record of the condition a vehicle arrived in, and a branded report at hand-back that reads like a document worth far more than the £1 it cost. Courtesy cars run on the same workflow.

What you get
Built around a workshop that is already busy
Booking-in records that protect the job
Photograph and mark existing damage before a spanner is touched, with the customer signing on your device. A pre-existing scuff stays pre-existing.
A hand-back report the customer keeps
Branded PDF with your logo and address, emailed within seconds of sign-off. Better than a phone call, and it sells the next job for you.
Courtesy cars, out and back
The same paired inspection hire depots use, with free unlimited DVLA licence verification before you hand over the keys.
Configurable diagrams, including classics
Car, van, HGV, minibus or classic — pick the right diagram and mark zones with a tap. Each zone carries its own notes and photos.
Post-wash and detailing templates
Photograph in and photograph out. The before-and-after is your defence against a swirl-mark claim and the best marketing you have.
Nothing owed in a quiet month
£1 per report, no seat fee, no contract. Health checks are free and unlimited, and 10 credits get you started without a card.
A two-ramp garage stops absorbing damage claims
A customer collected a car after a clutch job and insisted the alloy had been kerbed while it was in. The owner had no photographs, no signature and no way to prove otherwise, so he paid for a refurb to keep the review clean. Booking-in reports now take about ninety seconds on a phone before the vehicle goes on the ramp. The next claim, six weeks later, ended when the owner turned the screen round and showed the wheel as it arrived.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Two reasons. The first is protection: a booking-in report photographed and signed by the customer means a kerbed alloy or a cracked screen that arrived with the vehicle cannot be attributed to your work later. The second is sales — a branded PDF showing exactly what you found, with photos, is a more persuasive quote than a phone call, and customers keep it.
Yes, and it is the same workflow hire depots use. Inspect the courtesy car out, inspect it back in, take the customer's signature on both, and any new damage is the difference between two photographed records. Driver licence checks on the customer are free and unlimited, so you can verify entitlement before handing over the keys.
Yes. A post-wash inspection template is one of the standard patterns — photograph the vehicle in, photograph it out, and the before-and-after becomes both your protection against a swirl-mark claim and the best marketing asset you have.
Damage diagrams are configurable, including a classic option, and each zone carries its own notes and photos. Restorers tend to run one detailed report at booking-in and another at hand-back, using the pair as the documented record of a job that ran for months.
There is no monthly seat fee and no contract, so the cost is £1 per report and nothing else — a quiet month costs almost nothing. Vehicle health checks are free and unlimited on every account, including the free tier, and you get 10 credits to start without a card.
