HORSHAM, PA--(Marketwire - December 2, 2009) - National car care leader AAMCO® today released a mobile application that gives customers access to diagnostic tools and up-to-the-mile maintenance information at the touch of a button. The iGAAUGE, among the first of its kind for a national car care leader, is available for the iPhone® and iPod touch® and can be downloaded from the iTunes® App Store. It is free of charge for a limited time.

"iGAAUGE lets our customers take that peace of mind with them wherever they go by putting our expert technicians right on their phones. We want our customers to be able to get information on the road and have the ability to quickly connect to AAMCO when they need to. iGAAUGE delivers all that and more."
