Your clients could be putting your technicians at risk

It is the mission of every service department to ensure that every car that leaves the service department is safe and in sound working order. But what if your clients expose your dealership and more importantly your service technicians to a huge risk of fines or even worse?

On July 2011, the South Australian government removed registration stickers and other states soon followed. Now, all Australian states have replaced registration stickers with websites and apps so that drivers can check the registration status of a car.

This solution has proven adequate for owners and occasional drivers, but what if your business drives hundreds of unknown cars a day – for example a dealership service department. Unlike many other responsibilities, driving a vehicle that is unregistered is the responsibility of both the owner AND the driver, which means that your technicians could be issued a fine while conducting a Road Test. Even more concerning, the dealership would be fully liable for third-party damages and injuries in the event of a severe crash.  

Many dealers have recognised this grave risk and require employees to do a daily task of checking all the service vehicles with the solution provided by the government. Checking individually, is a laborious and inefficient task but with the risks involved - essential.

We have just developed a solution that batch-checks all your service repair orders with the data at the state registering authority. Once data is uploaded into the drivible, our solution checks all service vehicles which takes seconds versus the hours that large dealerships are doing each day. Saving 10’s thousands of dollars each year. In addition to reducing the risk of a catastrophic fine or payout in the future.

We have just completed the rollout of the South Australian Rego check. If you would like us to develop a solution for your state, then please contact us at hello@drivible.com.au
