How to get more health check work approved (without the hard sell)
Practical ways for independent garages to turn red and amber items into approved work: photos, clear prices, line-by-line choices and quick follow-up.
For independent garages and workshops
Show the customer the worn pads. Let them approve it line by line.
Your technician photographs what needs doing and adds a price; Servenk emails the customer a link, or you share it on WhatsApp in one tap. They tap approve or not now on each item, and the work they leave for later comes back to you with a reminder.

How it works
From the ramp to "yes, go ahead" in one link
Check in
Type the registration. A returning car fills in its owner by itself.
Health check
Tick through your checklist on a phone. Mark items red or amber, add a price, a photo or a 30-second video.
Send
One tap emails the customer a link with your logo, or shares it on WhatsApp. No app, no login.
Approved
They approve or defer each item. You see it at once, with the time and device recorded as evidence.
See it in one minute
The whole flow in the real app: check the car in, record the health check, send it, the customer approves on their phone, and the approved work is back at the garage.
Why garages use it
More approved work, fewer phone calls, no arguments later
Photos and video that sell the job
A customer who sees the 2 mm brake pad says yes. Photos are shrunk on the phone so they upload fast in the workshop.
Line-by-line approval
Approve the brakes, leave the tyres for next month. Each answer is saved with time, price and device, so there is no "I never agreed to that".
Deferred work comes back
Six weeks later the customer gets a reminder about the tyres they left. Inspection reminders and Google review requests follow too, only with consent.

Questions
Good to know
Does the customer need an app or an account?
No. They open a link from an email or a WhatsApp message on any phone. The page shows your logo and colour.
Does it replace my garage management system?
No. Servenk handles the health check, the approval and the messages. Invoicing stays in your current system; copy the approved work across in one tap.
What if the customer says they never agreed?
Every view and every decision is stored with the time, the price shown, the IP address and the device. Those records cannot be edited, not even by us.
Are reminders allowed under the GDPR?
Reminders only go to customers who ticked the consent box, and every one carries a stop link. Messages about the current visit are service messages and go to everyone.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from Settings. There is no contract and no cancellation fee. You can download all your data first.
