Meet UVEye at Sherwood Ford Service

When pulling into the Sherwood Ford Service Center in Sherwood Park, you may notice something new: a scanning gateway your vehicle now drives straight through on the way in. That’s UVEye Vehicle Scanner, an automated inspection system, and it’s already changing what a service visit looks like at Sherwood Ford.

What Actually Happens

You don’t have to do anything different upon your arrival. As can be seen in the photo below, simply pull up to check in like always. Just drive through the gateway at a normal pace, and park inside to meet your Service Advisor. That’s it.

Cameras do the work. There are 17 high-resolution cameras that capture images of your vehicle in seconds. At this point, UVEye is scanning the tires, undercarriage, body panels, wheels, and even the windshield at angles a technician would need a lift and several extra minutes to see.

No extra wait. The scan happens during the same drive-in motion you’d do anyway. It doesn’t add a stop, a bay, or a line.

What It’s Actually Looking For

The system is built to catch the things that matter before they turn into bigger, more expensive problems.

Tires and wheels. Tread wear, sidewall bulges, curb rash, and alignment issues that come from uneven wear.

Underneath the vehicle. Fluid leaks, rust, corrosion, and any missing or damaged components, all done without anyone needing to put your car on a lift first.

Exterior and glass. Scratches, dents, paint flaws, and cracked or chipped windshields.

Every finding comes with a timestamped photo, not just a technician’s word for it. If we tell you something needs attention, you’ll see exactly what we saw.

Why It’s Worth Mentioning

None of this changes your drop-off routine. Compared to before UVEye, what it changes is what happens in the seconds after you park: your advisor already has a full picture of your vehicle’s condition before you’ve finished walking to the counter. That means faster check-ins, fewer surprises mid-visit, and recommendations backed by an actual photo instead of a guess.

Does UVEye cost extra?
No. Every vehicle that comes through the Sherwood Ford Service Center gets scanned as part of the standard check-in. There’s no add-on fee and nothing to opt into.

Do I need to do anything different when I pull in?
No. Drive in at a normal pace like you always have. The gateway scans your vehicle as you pass through without stopping, no separate bay and no extra step on your end.

What does UVEye actually check?
Tires and wheels (tread wear, sidewall bulges, curb rash), the underbody (fluid leaks, rust, corrosion, missing or damaged parts), and the exterior and glass (scratches, dents, paint flaws, cracked or chipped windshields) all without needing a lift.

If it finds something, what happens next?
Your advisor gets a timestamped photo of whatever the scan flagged, and reviews it with you before any work is recommended. You’re seeing the same image the system generated, not just a description of it.

Does this replace a technician’s judgment?
No. UVEye is a detection tool, not a decision-maker. In fact, it only flags what its cameras and AI catch, but a qualified technician still makes the call on any repair or service recommendation.

Is my scan data private?
Yes. Scan data is encrypted, and only Sherwood Ford has access to your vehicle’s inspection result, which the Service Advisor will share with you.

Next Time You’re In

It’s important know that you don’t need to book anything special or ask for it. UVEye is simply part of every visit to the Sherwood Ford Service Center now. Keep an eye out for the scanning gateway next time you pull in, and ask your advisor to show you your scan results. It’s a good look at what modern service can catch that the old walk-around used to miss.

Same drive-in. A whole lot more insight.
