Outside car service center’s high quote and questionable paint commitment

Long story short, my ford EcoSport had met with a freaking accident and side wall of my care was severely damaged and had to be repaired immediately. I had two options, one to check with the Ford authorized service center and the other one was outside third-party service centers. I had made few searches over the internet and have shortlisted few third-party services center and had same conversation with the service advisors with the same car’s accidental images. The response was surprising and shocking, the responses did vary between vendors and quote was also varying, but I had averaged it out before I had detailed the following response. 

• Pricing: The Pricing quoted by the third-party car service center was almost like what Ford’s authorized service center was quoting and surprisingly there are few other vendors who quoted more than the authorized service center. To summarize, the quote from third-party car service center was almost equal to what authorized service center was quoting. 
• Paint Quality and Factory finish: Another disappointing factor while discussing with third-party car service center was that they were promising one year of paint warranty and there was not a single commitment on factory finish output. The warranty on Paint got me suspicious, as I was planning to hold on to my car for few more years and if the paint job was awkward, then the entire repaid job would be useless and had again had to figure out alternative options. 

From the discussions with the third-party car service centers, it was evident that the best and one-time repair for my car would be getting it repaired from Ford’s authorized service center.

Unified application or platform for all OTT apps

With recent lockdown restrictions and movies or series releasing directly to OTT apps, it has now become mandate to have subscription of all leading OTT apps. However, with different OTT apps have different subscription plans, it has now become frustrating process to maintain all those subscriptions and keep track of expenses each month. To overcome this constraint, there should have been single application or platform that should enable users to maintain their OTT subscription and includes following features:

• Discounts for commitment to different applications: Since users have multiple OTT app subscription, the platform should offer discounts on multiple subscriptions and long-term commitments. This enables both the users and the platform to have profits for maintaining multiple subscriptions and long-term commitments. 

• One plan to track & modify OTT subscription: The platform can enable users to track the plans of all OTT subscriptions in one-place and this help users to modify their OTT plans based on their movies or series preference.

One day, hope there comes a platform, where users can update or modify or subscribe to the OTT applications based on their preference and get discounts for commitment on multiple applications and for long-term solution. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out the “G R Team Sites”

Lack of continuation requests in Siri

I have been using Siri frequently to make calls, take reminders and send messages to my close friends. At times, I use Siri to check my favorite sports team score or about general facts during my leisure time and most times, post questions the Siri gets disconnected abruptly. Each time, post query to Siri I had to reinitiate the conversation to get the desired answers, so here is the use case scenarios

• Sports team update and creating reminders for the game:  - When I check the current score of my favorite sports team from Siri, I get instant response with the answer. - However, when I wanted to make a reminder about the game's schedule or blocking calendar for the game, the Siri fails to follow-up the conversation and gets restarted. 

• Lack of continuation requests in Siri Siri instantly responds with accurate information on ordinary questions or stats, however when the continuation question is raised, it begins from nothing, and the conversation continuation was missing. 

Apple should address this concern and make Siri more intuitive, when it wants to rival against the likes of Google's assistant, Microsoft’s' Cortana and Amazon's Alexa. To read more such articles, please feel free to check out the articles published in "G R Team Sites".
