Artificial Intelligence is transforming just about every industry, from teaching to medicine and, yes, auto repair.

Dealerships have been using AI for a decade to help with repair diagnostics, but the performance of the technology keeps getting better. And with greater cooperation from OEMs, platforms like the one offered by Sonatus will do even better to, for example, enable better predictive maintenance. While a vehicle is in for a recall repair, a dealership could have the tools to tell a customer that a fuel pump or sensor is near the statistical end of its life, at least giving customers the option of replacing it before it causes a problem on the road while driving.

Sonatus Chief Marketing Officer John Heinlein talks with WardsAuto Podcast Host David Kiley about these new possibilities with AI.
