New job logged in under a minute, no typing required.
Every minute spent typing vehicle details into a form is a minute not spent on the car. AutoChain's job creation flow is built around lookups: type the registration plate and the vehicle's make, model, colour and fuel type come back from DVLA instantly. DVSA surfaces the full MOT history and any current advisories so your technician knows what to look for before they start. Type the customer's postcode and the address fills in automatically. A new job that would take three or four minutes to type out manually takes under sixty seconds in AutoChain — and the data is always accurate because it came straight from official sources.
