Time Lapse of Your Car Being Repaired

Why?

Make a valuable and intangible service (the work being done by the mechanics) more tangible.

How?

Have time lapse cameras situated at work stations in the place where the mechanics service cars. The software allows you to start recording of a time lapse sequence at a particular service station, and stop it when finished. You then immediately send the customer (even before they pay and receive their car back) a link to the video file.
