It is compatible with both Apple and Android phones and offers separate optimized mobile apps for both of these types of smartphones. The AVAS mobile app is very user-friendly with a simple interface that is easy for any driver to learn how to operate in under 5 minutes—even if they are not very tech-savvy.

AVAS is designed to make owning, driving, and taking care of a car safer, more convenient, and more streamlined for all drivers—so integrating this system with your dealership makes the vehicles at your dealership more appealing to drivers and can give your dealership a leg up on the mainstream auto market. Keep reading to learn more about the 5 features of AVAS that benefit drivers and car dealerships alike.
1. Service Reminders
The system automates service reminders for drivers. This means that AVAS sends notifications to drivers when their vehicle is due for regular maintenance services or part replacements.
AVAS takes into account the year, make, and model of a driver’s vehicle and matches that information to a driver’s vehicle maintenance handbook. The AVAS app alerts drivers whenever their vehicle is due for services, helps them set up an appointment at a car dealership, and even offers them some exclusive discounts on these services.
These service reminders help drivers take better care of their vehicles, and they benefit your car dealership by generating more regular business for your dealership’s parts and service center.
2. Recall Notices
Recalled vehicle parts can be stressful for car dealerships who sell the type of vehicle for which a part or system has been recalled. AVAS makes the process of notifying drivers about recalls much easier and more convenient for both drivers and dealerships.
AVAS will automatically let subscribed members know via their mobile app when a part or system in their vehicle has been recalled by its manufacturer. AVAS members then have the option to schedule a service appointment with your car dealership to get their recalled part replaced—which means more business for your dealership.
3. Special Deals
AVAS offers subscribed members exclusive savings via text message or email. They send special discounts to members that can be redeemed at your car dealership.
These exclusive savings benefit drivers and help them save on maintenance, repairs, add-on purchases, and other services—and they benefit dealerships by motivating drivers to visit your car dealership to take advantage of the discounts they’ve been offered by AVAS.
4. Vehicle Tracking
AVAS offers vehicle tracking services that allow drivers to locate their vehicle at any time via the mobile app. Drivers can also use the mobile app to set up special zones—or geofences—and their mobile app will alert them if their vehicle leaves one of these zones.
AVAS also runs a Call Center, which helps subscribed members locate their stolen or lost vehicles nationwide at any time of the day or night. This service obviously benefits drivers by helping them locate their stolen or lost vehicle, and it benefits your car dealership by incentivizing drivers to purchase a vehicle with the peace of mind of knowing they can worry less about vehicle theft thanks to AVAS.
5. Insurance Discounts
The company partners with many different insurance companies to offer subscribed members discounts on their car insurance policies.
These insurance discounts benefit car dealerships, too, because the costs associated with buying a vehicle—insurance included—are some of the main barriers drivers face when considering purchasing a vehicle from a dealership.
It is always helpful with sales at your dealership to be able to offer customers a good deal on costs associated with their vehicle purchase, and the insurance discounts that AVAS offers allow your dealership to do just that.
Ask your local dealership to integrate AVAS if you’re interested.
