Allstate Dealer Services Launches iPhone App for F&I Industry

Allstate Dealers Services has introduced the CarMor Vehicle Care Center application for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. This free app is available immediately and exclusively to CarMor Vehicle Service Agreement (VSA) holders. To activate, VSA customers enter their agreement number, zip code and current vehicle mileage to start receiving information such as maintenance reminders.

The app can also be accessed from the recently launched CarMor website. The site is designed to educate customers about available Allstate Dealer Services products and programs. Visitors also will find helpful tips on car maintenance and the option to submit GAP program claims online.

“These new developments are examples of how Allstate Dealer Services is meeting customer needs in an environment where technology is rapidly changing,“ said Tony Smid, Allstate Dealer Services vice president of technology. “By supplying customers with a reference tool such as mycarmor.com and a convenient app such as CarMor Vehicle Care Center app, we hope to add value to their overall Allstate experience.”
