Use Case · Mechanics & Garages

Protect your garage from damage disputes.

Document every vehicle's condition before you start work. When a customer later claims you caused damage that was already there, you have the evidence to show what was recorded beforehand.

The Garage Scenario

One 60-second check could save a very expensive argument.

A vehicle arrives with an existing scratch. Later, the owner says your business caused it. Without a record, it's your word against theirs — and the cost of a dispute can run into thousands.

“That scratch wasn't there before.”

Proof Guard shows the condition recorded before work began — the photos, the angle, the note, the date.

What to Record

The details that settle a dispute.

Before you touch a vehicle, photograph every part that could be questioned later.

Existing scratches

Capture close-ups of any scratch, however small it looks.

Dents & bodywork

Document dents and damage to panels, bumpers and doors.

Wheel damage

Photograph alloys, tyres and any kerb or scuff marks.

Windscreen & glass

Record cracks, chips and stone damage to glass surfaces.

Interior condition

Document seats, trim and any marks or wear before work.

Handover & completion

Record the finished job so completed repairs are provable.

Don't argue. Show the record.
