When a customer rolls into the service bay at Golling Fiat in Bloomfield Hills, they will soon be met by a man armed with an iPad and a wireless transmitter.
As the customer exits their vehicle, the service writer will plug that device into the car and — in a matter of seconds — know just about everything there is to know about the vehicle, from the air pressure in its tires to any outstanding recalls or inspection orders from the manufacturer.
It is all part of Chrysler Group LLC's new push to give its dealers the cutting-edge technology they need to stay competitive and profitable at a time when cars and trucks need less maintenance and suffer fewer breakdowns.
