If you’re one of those people who worry about handing your car over to a mechanic for fear it won’t be handled well, then Audi have just come up with a solution which will provide you with total peace of mind.

Introducing the Audi Cam. The device allows customers to watch the mechanic working on their car through a webcam which is attached to the mechanic’s head. The car owner is able to sit in the waiting room and watch exactly what is happening to their car via the Audi Cam.

The customer and mechanic are also connected through a two-way radio which allows the technician to get in contact easily with the owner to check details of the car’s history or to clarify the exact details of the problem affecting their Audi.

Although the vast majority of Audi mechanics are highly professional and competent, the introduction of the Audi cam will at least help to put the mind’s of anxious customers at rest who feel uneasy when handing over their car to a stranger for repairs or service.

At present the service is only available in Europe, however if the pilot scheme is deemed a success, we could see it making its way over to the UK in the very near future.
