I'll be getting a bit peed off if I get a call every month for 2 years!! A bit over the top that isn't it?!i got a call from my dealer yesterday just to see how the car was, he told me he would ring me in 2 weeks and then every month for the first 2 years just to see how the car is, he also said he would ring me when the car had done 1000 miles to come in for a mini service and fluid checks, now that`s service for you. Question is how will he know i`ve done 1000 miles, do they have access to the car remotely ?? like we do with the App, maybe that`s what the sim is for ??
Hi Stuart this is all to do with "Telematics" where the dealer is able to track your cars mileage and error messages and who knows what else? Some insurance companies are looking to telematic technology to determine the speed you normally drive in order to set your premiums. I've also heard the police are able to access your vehicle info to discover the speed anyone is travelling in the event of an accident and it goes on and on. The question I ask, are the car manufacturers already passing this information on and how soon will it be before our cars, along with our mobiles, provide our personal blueprint to the authorities - life is sure getting scary!i got a call from my dealer yesterday just to see how the car was, he told me he would ring me in 2 weeks and then every month for the first 2 years just to see how the car is, he also said he would ring me when the car had done 1000 miles to come in for a mini service and fluid checks, now that`s service for you.
