Castrol adds Auto3iii eVHC platform to 270 UK Service sites.

Auto3iii has secured a nationwide partnership with Castrol Service and its UK distributor, The Race Group, will be introducing the electronic vehicle health-check (eVHC) specialist into more than 270 workshops. The move signals growing demand for data-led aftersales tools that help garages build steady revenue and keep customers coming back.

Partnership at a glance

  • Castrol Service will introduce Auto3iii’s eVHC software across all 270 UK locations.
  • The platform uses mileage data to trigger precise maintenance prompts.
  • Automated reminders aim to lift workshop occupancy and customer retention.

Why Castrol Service chose Auto3iii

The Race Group’s Head of Automotive, Michelle Rice, said the decision rested on Auto3iii’s clear customer communication and adaptable workflow. Technicians follow tablet-based checklists, capturing notes, photos and videos that make repair needs easier to explain at the counter and on follow-up messages.

How the system works

  • Mobile guidance – Technicians receive tailored checklists for each vehicle.
  • Real-time evidence – Photos, videos and measurements feed directly into the job record.
  • Customer insight – Drivers receive plain-language reports and mileage-based reminders.

Benefits for independent workshops

  • Builds trust through transparent reporting
  • Generates repeat visits without extra admin
  • Aligns with existing dealer and independent processes

David Leighton, Director at Auto3iii, called the agreement “a chance to prove the platform inside a forward-thinking workshop community and help technicians prioritise work professionally.”

Digital health-check tools are moving quickly from dealership groups into independent tyre and service centres. AI-derived maintenance schedules mirror connected-tyre monitoring and fit neatly alongside TPMS and tread-depth scanners, pointing to a future where data guides every aftersales decision.
