The Parked Auto team puts auto servicing in the palm of your hand with its easy-to-use app.

Does getting your vehicle in for service get in the way of your busy day? Well, now you can jump on board the newest service that takes care of it all for you!

We all know how difficult it can be in today’s busy world to find the time to get your car into the shop for an oil change or service. Now there’s an app that makes it quick and easy.

ParkedAuto is a first-of-its-kind application that uses mobile cloud and location tracking technology found in most rideshare and food delivery apps. It’s easy to use and provides you with a complete service like no other.

“This is a home-grown Alberta tech business in a place that might be more known for oil and gas innovation than tech start-ups,” says ParkedAuto app creator Michael O’Dwyer.

This service really takes care of everything!

The most outstanding feature of ParkedAuto is the fact that a representative will pick up and drop off your vehicle for you.

“No other current service provides this feature,” O’Dwyer says, noting you can even change your preferred drop-off spot if your day’s plan changes.

They also provide features like real-time updates from a qualified technician by in-app direct messages so you don’t have to spend time at the service centre or on the phone.

How it works in 4 easy steps:

  1. Sign up – Download the app and create a secure profile once with contact info, vehicle info, photo of your driver’s license, proof of insurance and VIN number.
  2. Pick a Partner – Choose your preferred shop in the ParkedAuto app, based on proximity, rating etc., then book your desired service, such as an oil change, and select a pick-up spot most convenient for you. A technician will collect your keys and vehicle and you can monitor the trip to the service centre using the in-app tracker.
  3. Service Your Vehicle – A qualified technician will perform your service and update you with in-app direct messages. If any unexpected issues arise, the technician will provide photos and recommendations for you to approve.
  4. Vehicle Return – Once work is completed, confirm your drop-off spot, and ParkedAuto will deliver and track your vehicle, and notify you upon arrival. Parts and labour are itemized and payments are completed in-app. They also provide reminders for when your vehicle is due for its next service.

Other amazing features: ParkedAuto provides a total invoice displayed in the app before you book your service, the ability to get your vehicle back at any time, and partners who will even pick up and drop off to a parking garage if necessary!
