Technology truly is amazing – and Apple seems to be taking over the world. I couldn’t imagine how bad Apple would flood the cell phone market if the iPhone was available for every service provider in the industry. And maybe that is why the iPhone hasn’t made a universal appearance yet – because they would have a veritable monopoly over the industry. Now, there is the iPad, which is just as cool as the iPhone, leveraging the same basic design and functionality for a completely different purpose. In the past, it has definitely paid off for brands to take advantage of any kind of partnership with Apple you can manage – or some kind of relationship with the tech innovators, at least – and Downers Grove Mazda dealers are proud of their brand for showing a forward-thinking attitude with the launch of its newest app.

The new application for the Apple iPhone that Mazda just launched about a month ago gives Mazda owners a simple way to contact and track the manufacturer’s roadside assistance. Of course, you use nothing except for your mobile phone. God bless America, God bless technology and God bless Downers Grove Mazda 3 dealers across the area. Called “Mazda Roadside Assistance App,” the application makes it easy for roadside assistance to locate the person in contact with them based on the phone’s built-in GPS system. Drivers then receive three unique status alerts to let them know the progress of their assistance team. For Downers Grove Mazda drivers, this will be a huge innovation and a little extra selling point for selling the brand’s already fantastic vehicles.

The first update the Mazda owner gets after sending out a service request is the estimated time of arrival of the service team member, as well as a direct contact number for the service provider. The second alert that Downers Grove Mazda 3 drivers should be excited about comes three-quarters of the way until the estimated time of arrival as a reminder notification. The final confirmation comes at the arrival of the service provider or tow truck. That last one seems like a little bit of overkill since you will usually have met the service guy in person by that point, but might as well add a little extra insurance on top – especially if you have to leave your car somewhere. These are big pluses for Downers Grove Mazda drivers around the area.

This application is a great inexpensive way for the automaker to add value on top of its already special cars. For Downers Grove Mazda 3 dealers and service providers, it’s great to be able to run everything form a computer without tying up phone lines. Not only is it a huge time-saver, it’s also extraordinarily convenient. You get an exact location and the problem directly from the iPhone application, no other prep work necessary. Just get in the tow truck or service car and get out to the location. It’s as painless and simple as that. Talk about a great way to build on top of the Apple API.
