In today’s used-car market, trust and transparency are two of the most powerful factors influencing buyer decisions

For workshops, dealers, and industry partners, offering credible vehicle protection tools is no longer optional—it is a customer expectation.
GlovBox says this is where it steps in with two innovative solutions designed to protect both vehicle value and consumer confidence: the Proof of Service (POS) Report and the Risk Assessment Report.
The Proof of Service Report transforms traditional workshop receipts and logbooks into a verified, digital service history.
It provides buyers with a clear record of how well a vehicle has been maintained, without exposing sensitive customer information.
Each entry is sanitised to remove personal data, while retaining critical details such as odometer readings, dates, and parts or work performed.
For sellers, this transparency adds measurable value to their vehicle; for workshops, it builds lasting trust with customers by proving the quality of their work.
Complementing this is the Risk Assessment Report, which acts as a frontline defense for buyers.
Compiled from a professional inspection, it highlights potential mechanical or safety issues before a purchase decision is made.
From tyres and brakes to warning lights and fluid leaks, the report ensures that safety risks aren’t overlooked.
For finance providers and dealerships, it is an additional safeguard against costly disputes and reputational damage.
Together, Glovbox says these reports elevate the standard of vehicle protection in the aftermarket industry, reducing the risk of buyers inheriting hidden problems, giving sellers an advantage in a competitive market, and helping workshops demonstrate their expertise in a professional, digital-first way.
Industry research continues to highlight concerning gaps in vehicle servicing and inspection habits across Australia.
A significant portion of motorists delay scheduled servicing due to cost or convenience, creating risks that can lead to higher repair bills and road safety hazards.
By embedding POS and Risk Assessment reports into the buying and selling process, the aftermarket sector can play a leading role in closing this gap – protecting both motorists and the reputation of the industry as a whole.
As Australia’s vehicle parc grows older and consumer expectations shift toward digital solutions, Glovbox says tools like these are no longer “nice to have,” they are essential.
GlovBox says it is proud to provide workshops, dealers, and car owners with an easy way to verify vehicle history, protect against risk, and build stronger confidence in every transaction.
