Getting access to digital service records as an independent service centre

A lot of manufacturers have already switched to digital service records and you may think that only the main dealers can get access to and update these records. However this is not the case as independent garages can do this as well, although they don’t always make it easy!

Jaguar and Land Rover Digital Service Records(TOPIx)

Since the two brands are part of the same group you only have to register once. Once registered you will not only be able to view and update service records but for you also also see the vehicles specification including options fitted.

Visit JLR TOPIx and register as an independent operator.

Mercedes-Benz Digital Service Booklet (DSB)

Mercedes were one of the first to move over to a digital service record and as a result the software is built of some fairly old technology so you will need to install Java on the computers you are using it on. However once you get over this hurdle it is just as easy to use.

BMW, MINI and Rolls-Royce Aftersales Online System (AOS)

BMW has also been using digital service records for quite some time. You can also view the specification and fitted options via the BMW system which is an added bonus.

Amazingly there are still many manufacturers that do not keep a central service history record but there is no doubt that digital records are the future. Have we missed any?
