Abstract
A system for prompting vehicle service includes: a processor; a memory module communicatively coupled to the processor and including one or more processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to: determine a vehicle location; determine one or more maintenance tasks required by the vehicle; identify a maintenance facility capable of performing the one or more maintenance tasks; determine a location of the maintenance facility capable of performing the one or more maintenance tasks; determine a wait time to perform the one or more maintenance tasks at the maintenance facility; and output a maintenance scheduling prompt based on: a comparison between the wait time and a wait time threshold, and a second comparison between: (i) a magnitude of a distance between the vehicle and the maintenance facility; and (ii) a distance threshold.
