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

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.”
