Abstract:
A method for managing vehicle check in at an automotive service center in which vehicle identification data is downloaded together with odometer data and diagnostic codes, if any, to a handheld device connected to the diagnostic port on the vehicle. The device then wirelessly transmits the data from the device to a programmed computer at the service center. Warranty/maintenance information is then obtained either from a database stored at the service center or from a remote computer. The remote computer then determines the recommended service for the vehicle and prints a work order containing that recommended service.
