Most Garages Don’t Do This —We Do It Every Time

Why Updating the Manufacturer’s Online Service History Matters — And Why We Always Do It

Keeping your vehicle’s service history up to date isn’t just about ticking boxes — it can have a significant impact on resale value, warranty coverage, and peace of mind. Modern vehicles often come with manufacturer-linked online service portals, which track servicing milestones and records digitally. These platforms are increasingly used by dealers, buyers, and warranty providers to verify vehicle care and history.

However, most independent garages — and even some main dealers — either skip this step or don’t complete it properly. This means your service record could appear incomplete or inconsistent, even if the work was done. Unfortunately, that can cost you in the long run.

At Autotest, we make sure that if your vehicle is eligible for a manufacturer’s online service record, we’ll update it every single time. We understand how important these records are — and we take pride in doing things properly, from start to finish.

So whether you’re driving a VW, Mercedes, Toyota, or any other supported brand, you can trust that your digital service history is in safe hands with us.
