AutoChain: Common Questions
What is AutoChain?
AutoChain is a UK platform that connects drivers and garages through a shared digital service history. Garages use AutoChain to manage bookings, jobs, and invoicing. Every service event they record is automatically added to the vehicle's permanent digital history, which the driver can access, export, and transfer when they sell the car. The result is a verifiable, tamper-evident alternative to the traditional paper service book — benefiting both garages (who gain a professional digital workflow) and drivers (who gain a permanent, portable service record).
How much does AutoChain cost?
AutoChain is completely free for drivers. Creating an account, adding vehicles, storing service records, and accessing MOT reminders costs nothing. Garages and automotive businesses pay a monthly subscription starting at £69.99 per month plus VAT, which gives them full access to the garage management platform, unlimited digital service history recording, customer communication tools, and the AutoChain network listing. There are no long-term contracts — the subscription is rolling monthly and can be cancelled at any time.
Which garages are on the AutoChain network?
AutoChain works with independent garages, specialist workshops, and automotive service businesses across the UK. You can search for AutoChain network garages in your area using the garage finder on this website. Network garages are verified UK businesses that have registered on the platform — when you book with a network garage and they complete a service, the record is automatically added to your vehicle's digital history. We are continuously expanding the network, so if your preferred garage is not yet listed, you can recommend them to join.
How do I get started as a driver?
Getting started takes under two minutes: create a free account on the AutoChain website, then add your vehicle using its registration plate. AutoChain automatically imports DVLA data to create your vehicle profile, including MOT expiry date and vehicle specification. You can then search for nearby network garages, book a service, or manually add any existing service records you want to preserve. Your vehicle's complete history builds up automatically as network garages record future service events.
Does a digital service history increase my car's value?
Yes, significantly. Research by CAP HPI, Glass's Guide, and major used car platforms consistently shows that vehicles with a verifiable full service history sell for 5–15% more than comparable vehicles without one. Buyers and dealers place particular value on service history that can be independently verified — a digital record stored on a third-party platform like AutoChain is more credible than a paper book, because it cannot be retrospectively forged or altered. Maintaining a complete AutoChain history throughout your ownership period is one of the most straightforward ways to protect your vehicle's resale value.
