AAA has announced the launch of a version of Service Tracker for the CAA app for the Apple Watch. The app allows members to easily track the location of their assigned service vehicle in real time. Using GPS, Service Tracker allows members to have the convenience to know exactly when their service vehicle will arrive. Soon, a quick glance at your Apple Watch will do the same thing, becoming the first roadside assistance app configured for Apple Watch.
The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) added Service Tracker to its Apple and Android smartphone apps in Ontario one year ago. Service Tracker for Apple Watch will roll out in Ontario in July 2015 and in other Canadian test markets beginning later this year. The Apple Watch App for Service Tracker will be available in U.S. test markets later this year. Meanwhile, the Service Tracker functionality is available now in select AAA markets.
After making a service call using the AAA iPhone app, members will be able to automatically track the service vehicle to their location using the Apple Watch map display – including an ETA. Members also can choose to utilize its notifications function, which offers value-added benefits, such as special AAA Rewards offers or even a reminder to plug electric vehicles on a cold night.
