Digital proof of service

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The digital service record is intended to replace the paper vehicle checkbook.

The documentation of the maintenance work carried out on a motor vehicle was previously done in the so-called checkbook. This service plan has the disadvantage of not being forgery-proof and can also be lost. These disadvantages are overcome with the digital proof of service.

For this purpose, all maintenance work carried out is stored electronically in a central database with the execution date and mileage of the vehicle . Additional work should also be saved, such as changing the spark plugs . The vehicle's record is updated after every repair and after every service. The vehicle owner receives a printout with a security code for their documents.

The first automobile manufacturer to use the digital proof of service is Mazda . It has been used on the Mazda5 since June 2005 and on all new Mazda vehicles since July 1, 2006 .
