Preview of page 1 of the vehicle condition report: business and customer details, readings when the car is taken in and handed back, items left in the car, and a car outline for marking damage
Page 1. The car outline is an illustration.

What's on the form

Your business and the customer's details. The registration, make, model and colour. The date, mileage, fuel or charge, keys and photos taken, at both ends of the job. A car outline from above, both sides, the front and the rear, with a key: S scratch, D dent, C chip, K kerbed wheel, R previous repair. Checks for bodywork, wheels and tyres, glass, lights and interior, and both signatures when the car is taken in and handed back.

How to fill it in well

  1. Start with a clean car, in good, even light.
  2. Walk round in the same order every time: front, sides, rear.
  3. Mark each defect with its letter and a number (S1, C2), and describe it on page 2.
  4. Check the wheels, glass, lights and interior. If there is nothing to note, tick "No visible damage".
  5. Take photos, and write down how many.
  6. Read it through with your customer, both sign, and give them a copy.
  7. When the car goes back, check it against the same sheet, and both sign again.

The same record on your iPhone

KeySigned puts the photos, the marks and both signatures into one record, sealed so any later change shows. Your customer gets the evidence pack, and checks the record with it in an up-to-date browser. Records stay on your iPhone and aren't backed up, so export the ones you need.

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Download it and print as many copies as you need. There is no sign-up.

Do we both need to sign?

Yes, when the car is taken in and again when it's handed back. Each signature shows what that person agreed they saw.

Can I do this on my phone?

KeySigned does this on your iPhone. The photos and both signatures go into one sealed record.
