Vehicle owners assistant

Vehicles require periodic service/maintenance and peripheral tasks to keep them running.  Additionally, assistance incase of emergencies such as roadside breakdowns, accidents also factor in . As an automaker, how can digital intervention help better serve customers in maintaining vehicles?
