Proof, not pitch. Delivered in under three minutes.
tekDrive pulls the customer's full Carfax, cross-checks it against manufacturer service intervals, and renders a personalized narrated video showing what’s done, what was skipped, and what’s due next — with OEM data backing every single item.
Customers have learned to say no to the menu.
Advisors read off a maintenance menu they've never seen proven. No Carfax. No service history. No manufacturer backing — just “looks like you need this.” It sounds like a quick-lube pitch. The customer books it at the dealership, defers indefinitely, or books it nowhere at all.
From VIN to video in under three minutes.
Full service-record pull for the VIN on the RO. Every documented service at any shop.
Every required service for this exact year/make/model/trim — cross-referenced line-by-line against what's documented.
Overdue, due, and upcoming items are flagged. Customer-friendly language is drafted — no jargon, no fear, no pressure.
1–3 minute narrated video with the customer's name, their vehicle, their history, and what their manufacturer actually says is due.
Every video pulls from six live sources.
Nothing is made up. Every recommendation traces back to manufacturer data or a documented service record — not a menu, not a guess.

A personalized video shows them THEIR car, THEIR history, and what THEIR manufacturer actually recommends. Approvals at pilot shops jumped from roughly 1-in-10 to roughly 7-in-10, and the customers who don't approve today keep the video and come back later.
