Rana Motors, a dealer of Maruti Suzuki cars in Delhi & NCR, has launched a mobile app called ‘Rana Motors Accessbox’. This will enable existing customers of the car dealership to reach out for any information, feedback or appointment.

• Through the app, car owners have a direct chat line to the Rana Motors CEO and can send feedback about their experience with the dealership.
• The application connects with the dealership (Rana Motors) and pulls out the car details along with the complete service history.
• It sets automatic reminders for Insurance expiry, PUC expiry and service due date.
• The application helps in getting insurance and PUC documents on the mobile phone.
• If one gets a dent on the car, they don’t need to visit the dealer to get the estimate. Through the App, the customer can click a photograph of the dent & press “send” in the App. The dealer’s service team will reply with a cost estimate.
• The App is developed by Autoninja and is currently available only for Android, an IOS based app will be released on the Apple app store soon. (Free download)
• The dealership already has 300 active users in just fifteen days.
• Autoninja had also launched India’s First mobile app for any car dealership for Pratham Motors (Bangalore) last year. The App was also recommended as a Best Practice by Maruti Suzuki (issue #2013-14/bp/01).

Super initiative, and the initial user ratings on the play store aren't too bad either.

I especially like how they're willing to give a 'guesstimate' of repair costs via a photo, and that feedback goes straight to the dealership boss. I'd prefer to make appointments via my phone too (rather than the traditional way of a phone call).

If this app works as intended, and the dealer makes good on the promises, it's a step in the right direction.

How incredibly convenient. I can write feedback to any dealer and I don't know whether they have read it or not. I hope that's not the case.
It is convenient to know that so many reminders are taken care of. Although I prefer to do insurance outside.
Well, for starters,they must have a detailed "terms and conditions" for a repair estimate for the dent.

I just hope they go ahead in using these apps to make life simple.

An excellent tool to connect with customers in today’s times.

Instead of recommending best practice, IMO Maruti themselves should take lead & launch such application for all dealers.
In addition to said features, it should have info on service & spare parts costs, do’s & don’ts / DIY guide in case of breakdowns, info of all dealers & service centers locations etc.
And why Maruti, all companies should have such Apps.

Nonetheless a good initiative by the dealer.
