This was a service overview and mobile app proposal for a world 1st car servicing application. I am still open to offers from car dealers to created a custom app to increase customer retention, save time and money on staff and wastage, and increase exposure and create new customers in both new sales and service, parts, etc.

The world’s 1st car service application
for dealerships
A free application for smartphone users.
How It Would Work:
1. A new or existing customer books in service, either online or over the phone.
2. The service advisor enters the booking details into the internal system which integrates with the
proposed service app.
3. The free app is sent to the customers mobile and/or email address to download the version of
their choice and the dealer is alerted of a successful download by the customer.
4. The customer brings in the car, confirms the known details of the required service and the advisor
checks and confirms the app is downloaded and working correctly.
5. The customer is then sent a push notification message to their chosen device, advising them of
any further findings of repair work needed in heading and detailed text with a cost, urgency of
repair status, and the choice of either a agree button or a later button, which automatically sets
that repair line info as a calendar reminder entry on their chosen devices’ internal calendar.
6. The customer then submits the form via a submit button and the summary of the additional
agreed works are instantly sent to the service advisor and integrates into the internal system
which reprints the updated job sheet for the mechanic working on the vehicle to complete.
7. Within seconds, a further confirmation notification message is sent to the clients phone or device
of choice confirming they agreed to these additional repairs and allows them to decline if a
mistake was made or agree again by resubmitting the confirmation.
8. The repairs are worked on by the mechanic and near completion, the customer is sent a
notification to their device indicating the time the car is ready for pick up and an invoice to view,
print or download, that allows the customer to pay now via the device or pay over phone prior to
pick up, allowing for express pick up service.
9. A further notification message is sent to the customer the day after their service asking if their
experience was good and given the opportunity to send a “like” and “share” notification as a
recommendation of the service to their social network on Facebook and Twitter, thus enjoying
the rewards of any referrals that eventuate from their social sharing experience, by way of a gift
voucher worth $25 towards their next service, which is tracked and recorded on file for the next
time they visit, this can also be in way of a car detail, etc.
10. Further marketing for this app includes the use of sending mobile coupon offers to the
customers, and more reward opportunities with referral sharing.
11. VIP pick up and delivery options available for fleet and VIP customers.

The world’s 1st car service application
for dealerships
Key points and advantages
1. Increased efficiency for both dealership and customer
2. Increasing customer satisfaction
3. Significant time and resource savings for both dealership and customer with less reliance for
phone interaction and its associated problems, decision making and time delays
4. Increased availability of pre ordered parts in relation to servicing and for particular repair
5. Increased productivity and time savings for both dealership and customer in relation to the drop
off and pick up process
6. Making the quoting process of further repairs easier and provides a better opportunity for the
dealership to win the repairs at the later date due to the service reminder notification feature.
7. Increased sales and efficiency of entire service department and front desk staff
(payment process).
Moving forward
• Provide quote options
• Create design mock-up
• Build and develop applications
• Testing phase for all devices
• Soft launch on family and friends
• Media launch event
• Marketing phase to include social media, all online and offline advertising, press releases to all
blog sites, associations, customer databases, etc
• Start the rollout options to other Ford dealers after a few months of being market leaders
• Look at a white labelling option for dealers and groups worldwide on a subscription base fee
