Many drivers struggle with remembering oil changes and service tune-ups for their vehicles causing improper maintenance. Unfortunately, we can’t always remember everything and if someone does remember it’s time for maintenance many don’t exactly know what it needs, why it is needed or where to get it done. Dealerships are doing their part by sending out maintenance reminders but they might be ignored or most commonly life happens and it gets forgotten. Email has reigned supreme for companies to get in touch with their customers for a while now but the world has gotten busy and now Email must adapt.
