Book service and repair*1

Manage service, repair and booking information directly in your Internet-connected car.

This service1 provides a convenient way to book a service and workshop visit directly in the car. Car information is sent to your dealer, who can prepare the workshop visit. The dealer will contact you to schedule an appointment time. For certain markets, the system reminds you of a scheduled appointment time as it approaches and the navigation system2 can also guide you to the workshop when the time comes.
