Tata Motors launched an easy to operate smartphone (Android & IOS) based application to meet the aftersales demands of its passenger vehicle customers. Called the Tata Motors Service Connect (TMSC), this app will display live notifications, weather conditions, service camps, special offers and other updates.
Registered customers can view all important information like chassis, warranty/AMC and insurance benefits in a single page. It acts as an organizer and offers the provision to keep scanned copies of important documents of the vehicle handy.
