One thing I have noticed is interaction during car servicing. When giving my car in for service, the person in charge at the car company usually has to call me on the phone and tell me to pick up the car. Perhaps this could be automated where the mechanic presses a button on his/her end and the car owner automatically gets a notification (via app?) to pick up the car.

This seems like a small feature to add to their invoicing app, not a business.

Also, there's quite a number of car servicing startups now, like YourMechanic.

An SMS notification would do just fine, right?
My local Lexus dealership does exactly this. The software platform they use will send me a text message when my car is ready.
