Each vehicle's record carries a job history tab listing every jobcard that vehicle has ever been on. It's the workshop's-eye view of a car: not "what has this person spent with us" but "what has happened to this metal".
Why it's separate from customer history
Cars get sold. A vehicle might have three different customers over a decade. The customer history shows you what that customer has had done; the vehicle history shows you what the car has had done, regardless of who owned it at the time.
When a car comes back under a new owner, the new owner can't see the previous customer's name on a printout — but the workshop sees the full service history so the technician knows when the timing belt was last changed.
What's in each row
- Date the work was done
- Jobcard reference + status
- The customer who was linked at the time
- The garage where the work was done (across your company)
- Mileage at the time
- Summary of jobs done
Vehicle-level reminders
The MOT, service and timing-belt due dates also live on the vehicle, not the customer. So when a car changes hands, the reminders keep ticking — they fire to the current customer (per the latest jobcard's customer link).
