FAQ
Common questions about the DVLA integration
- Does Garagess have DVLA vehicle lookup?
- Yes. Garagess connects to the DVLA database so you can type a registration number and get the vehicle details back instantly, without leaving the job you are working on.
- What details come back from a registration lookup?
- A lookup returns the make, model and variant, colour, year of registration, fuel type and engine size, and the current MOT expiry date. Tax status is checked as part of the same lookup, so you can see at a glance whether a vehicle is legal to drive.
- Does it save time on the front desk?
- Yes. Instead of asking the customer for vehicle details or typing them out by hand, staff just enter the registration and the details appear within a second. Garages using it estimate around two minutes saved per job, which adds up across a busy week.
- Is it included with Garagess?
- Yes, DVLA lookup is built into Garagess as standard — there is no separate sign-up or extra tool to configure. It works the same way for every job, using data pulled directly from DVLA so it stays current.
