ABSTRACT:
The current invention provides a system and method for providing status data for vehicle maintenance. A GPS location trigger is monitored for at a telematics unit. Communication between the telematics unit and a call center is initiated responsive to the GPS location trigger. Status data is sent from the vehicle to the call center through the telematics unit. At least a portion of the status data is sent from the call center to a service center associated with the GPS location trigger. A computer usable medium with suitable computer program code is employed for providing status data for vehicle maintenance.
