There’s just
no getting away from new technology these days. Just when you think you’ve seen
it all, up comes another use for a gadget which most folk regard as a toy.
Audi garages
across the UK are all set to introduce a new service, ‘Audi Cam’, which Audi
Centre technicians will use to advise customers of work needing done to their
car. The technicians will highlight and record any work which needs to be done
on a customer’s car and send the clips to a home or business computer or to one
of these new-fangled smartphones before any work is commenced.
The customer
can then authorise the work remotely, or
get in touch with the garage to discuss options.
And like
anything else on the internet these days, security is uppermost. The
audio/video files can only be seen by each customer on their own individual web
page, so there’s no chance of the guy you hope to sell the car to seeing it!
And if it’s
a company car, the boss will know you’re not telling porkies although he might
wonder why the tyre wear rate is high.
Whatever
next? Garage staff getting together to produce their own customer-friendly film clips of strictly
come dancing quick fitters?
