myKaarma to launch service@home™ at 2019 NADA Show

myKaarma announces software that helps dealerships communicate better with their customers at every stage of the service process, right from check-in through to payment, today announced the launch of service@home™, which helps auto dealers deliver exceptional customer service to anyone unable to visit the dealership for their service needs. myKaarma’s service@home™ extends its products capabilities beyond a dealer’s service department doors.

According to myKaarma CEO Ujj Nath, dealerships need to adapt to consumer expectations which companies including Amazon, Uber, Google, and Costco have trained today’s customers to expect. “Using our service@home™ technology provides auto dealer customers with the simplicity of getting video walkarounds with pickup and delivery features. service@home™ offers customers the option to have the service department pick up their vehicle and bring it back for service without disrupting their daily schedule. It’s a simple transparent process for the customer and the service department,” stated Nath.

The process is as follows: The customer makes an appointment. A driver is then dispatched to pick up the customer’s vehicle at the time and location they requested. The service@home™ platform live tracks the driver’s route which can easily be viewed by both the dealership and the customer. Once the driver is at the pickup place, they conduct a video walkaround to confirm the condition of the vehicle.

The driver then returns the vehicle to the dealership (routing is live tracked again, reassuring the customer with transparency) where the RO is opened.

The service advisor is in constant contact with the customer through myKaarma’s communication features (text, voice, email) and can send pictures and technician videos about additional recommended vehicle repairs.

Customers receive a notification when their vehicle is completed, and an invoice is sent. Customers can pay online, or when the vehicle is delivered back to them.

“Today the vehicle drop off and pick up process at dealerships is very archaic. Customers want convenience and transparency based on their busy schedules and how they want to do business in the digital age. service@home™ from myKaarma solves these pain points while increasing customer satisfaction and revenues for your dealership,” Nath stated.
