Warranty management
Warranty and comeback management for automotive workshops
How warranty management software helps mechanics track repeat faults, evidence, supplier claims and rework cost.

A comeback deserves a case record
When a vehicle returns after a repair, the workshop needs to connect the complaint to the original job, invoice, technician notes and parts used. Keeping that context in a phone call makes it difficult to investigate fairly or recover supplier costs.
Capture evidence while the vehicle is available
Photos, measurements, technician notes, parts information and customer descriptions are most useful when captured during the investigation. A structured warranty case gives each item a place and an owner.
Separate internal cost from customer communication
The workshop may need to discuss root cause, rework cost and supplier recovery internally while showing the customer only the approved resolution. Good comeback management keeps those audiences separate.
How MechAxis Platinum helps
MechAxis links warranty and comeback cases to customers, vehicles, jobs, invoices, suppliers, evidence and claims. The lifecycle shows what is identified, investigating, submitted, approved, reimbursed or closed.
