Here at North Point Volvo, our goal is to help you get the most out of every mile when you invest in a new Volvo model. And while our onsite service and repair department at 1570 Mansell Road Alpharetta, GA 30009 can certainly help, we know there will be times when we're not there to help.
Case in point: roadside emergencies. This is the exact reason why Volvo has developed the On Call Smartphone app. Available for iOS, Android and Windows mobile devices.
This free download from Volvo allows drivers to lock their doors remotely on properly equipped models, locate their parked car using GPS functionality and check oil and fluids levels between routine service appointments.
As if that weren't enough, Volvo is rolling out an update for its lauded app in Europe that adds a new interface as well as a plethora of additional features, many of which we wouldn't be surprised to in a future update for the U.S. version.
Since we know our readers from the greater Atlanta area value staying informed, we'll cut right to the chase and fill you in on what the update has to offer:
- Enhanced driving journal: Download information pertaining to any trip you've taken in the last 40 days and extract it into an Excel file.
- Send destination to car: Send routes from the app to your car's navigation system (if properly equipped).
- Honk and flash: Lets you activate the horn and headlights independently to easily identify your car in a busy area.
- Car in motion: Sends a notification to your phone if your vehicle is moving when you're not the one driving.
If these sound like the kind of features you'd like to see in the Volvo On Call app, be sure to stay tuned to the North Point Volvo blog. The moment details surface regarding an update to the U.S. version, we'll let you know. The new Volvo experts at 1570 Mansell Road Alpharetta, GA 30009 are, after all, committed to keeping you informed.
