Guided video for automotive service and aftersales

Automotive is one of several sectors where guided video works well — before the vehicle arrives, and while the work is being carried out.

No app. No account. No video call.

How can automotive service teams use customer video?

A customer or service advisor captures the vehicle issue, the dashboard warning, the sound and the affected area through a guided link before workshop diagnosis. During the job, the technician records findings and completed work, giving the customer a clear explanation and the workshop a documented record.

The typical situation

An intermittent noise or warning is described at the counter, and the workshop spends diagnosis time reproducing something the customer already experienced.

Who records the video

The vehicle owner, the service advisor, or the workshop technician.

What is captured

  • The fault, noise or warning as it occurs
  • Dashboard and warning indicators
  • Vehicle identification details
  • Damage and wear close-ups
  • Findings during diagnosis
  • Completed work and parts replaced

How the service team uses it

  • Prepare the workshop before arrival
  • Reduce diagnosis time for intermittent faults
  • Explain recommended work visually to the customer
  • Document damage at intake and handover
  • Support warranty claims with dated evidence

Operational outcomes

  • Shorter diagnosis time
  • Clearer customer communication
  • Documented warranty evidence
  • Fewer disputes at handover

Outcomes depend on your own service operation. We do not publish savings percentages that have not been measured with you.

Two directions of video

Before dispatch, and from the field.

The same structured approach is used in both directions, with different capture steps.

01 Customer or site → Service team

  1. Service request received
  2. Guided video link sent
  3. Customer or site contact records
  4. Service team reviews
  5. Resolve remotely or dispatch correctly

02 Field technician → Head office

  1. Technician opens the job
  2. Guided capture on site
  3. Checklist and readings
  4. Before and after evidence
  5. Completion record reviewed centrally
