Planned and Unplanned Car servicing for Indian Highways and rural roads through the mobile app
Mumbai 1st Oct 2020: Highways are our country’s lifeline, with millions of tonnes of produce and millions of people traveling on in at any given time. And it is a desperate situation if your vehicle breaks down and you have nowhere to go. The answer to the age-old question of where we will get a mechanic or a garage, especially during the dead of the night, lies with “AUTO i CARE”, a specially curated mobile app for road travelers. Founded by Mumbai based automobile whizz Sagar Joshi, the AUTO i CARE mobile app is aimed at providing quick and efficient repair service on Indian National highways, State Highways, and rural roads. During the COVID 19 lockdown, this app has assisted over 8000 motor vehicles to reach their destination safely by helping with repairs and other services on the highways. In a short time, AUTO i CARE has spread its wings from Dombivali, a distant suburb outside Mumbai, to cover 2,28,000kms on 238 roads and reach out to nearly 998 cities and towns in India.
This mobile app is an aggregator of local garages and mechanics; it has reached out to distant areas of the country during the lockdown. Essential service vehicles have been the primary beneficiaries of AUTO i CARE services, which enabled them to keep their wheels turning and helping those in need. Sagar Joshi, founder AUTO i CARE, shares to Prittle Prattle News by sharing a press release, “Around 48000 garages are registered on The AUTO i CARE app assisting at very short notice. During this lockdown, team AUTO i CARE has successfully repaired over 8000 vehicles across the country, including essential services, private vehicles, and heavy vehicles. The app’s latest features include finding the nearest Petrol Pump to the nearest charging station for your electric vehicle to the nearest pay and park facility to find the driver. Our core team has worked hard to ensure assistance was provided promptly during COVID times.” This app provides real-time tracking of the inbound support vehicle – similar to popular ride-hailing apps – with an estimated time of arrival, automated SMS status updates, and tow driver contact information. The idea is to attend car issues in just four clicks on the mobile app and available at quite a reasonable cost.
While sharing data of breakdowns in COVID times with Prittle Prattle News, Sagar further added, “We received breakdown calls from far-flung areas like Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir where we successfully handled over 100 requests, the highest number of calls handled were from Mumbai and Goa with over 3000 fulfilled, Telangana saw 502, Kerala numbers were at 386, Uttar Pradesh at 182, West Bengal was at 440 successful cases handled. It is heartening to see that AUTO i CARE is slowly turning into a trustworthy partner for weary road travelers. Soon we are launching our dedicated services for bikes and heavy vehicles as well.”
The extremely user-friendly AUTO i CARE mobile app helps the customers with their planned car servicing and unplanned car servicing features. Planned car servicing is the annual servicing for your car, and Unplanned car servicing entails requesting roadside support anytime for a breakdown on highways for common issues like tire replacement, jump-start, low fuel, or vehicle unlock, as well as major repairs to the cars or to have it towed to a local garage or mechanic.
AUTO i CARE, tie-up with local mechanics and vendors from across the country, created employment opportunities and boosted the Government of India’s <#vocalforlocal initiative. They are soon planning to start their standalone AUTO i CARE service centers. AUTO i CARE services can also be available for bikers in Mumbai and Pune and will very soon also cater to heavy vehicles. The app’s utilities consist of equipped workshops, expert workmanship, free pickup & drop, authentic spares, and service warranty.
Conceptualized in 2015, it took Sagar Joshi 3 years of R&D and collaborations to launch AUTO i CARE in 2018. AUTO i CARE is a professional service that provides aid for vehicle emergencies, providing automobile mechanics, it guarantees prompt services 24X7. This app has craved its own special space and is well known among the industry, and it’s peers for genuine and reliable Road Side Assistance service. The ultimate proof of this today we have 48000 local garages across India in our family. We believe in community growth and not individual development. AUTO i CARE is a team of dedicated professionals spread across the length and breadth of India. In an unforeseen event, if you and your vehicle get immobilized due to a breakdown or road accident, the AUTO i CARE family will be at a call away for immediate help.
