Abstract
Vehicle performance data is collected from an input by an operator, a portable device used during an inspection, or at least one sensor. The performance data (or a request for quotes or a reverse auction by repair vendors transmitted by the operator) is conveyed in real-time to a remote computing device that monitors the data to determine if a mechanical fault has occurred in the vehicle, and also automatically responds to operator requests for service. In response, the remote computing device automatically requests repair quotes from vendors interested in repairing the vehicle and located within a predefined distance of a desired location. The operator of the vehicle is automatically informed of the mechanical fault and the repair quotes. In at least one embodiment, the repair quotes are generated using a reverse auction hosted by the monitoring service operating the remote computer or a third party.
