Now Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes introduces a new Body Shop App for consumers to utilize in case they are involved in a traffic accident. The new mobile phone application provides users with all kinds of information and contact access.

The new app will provide immediate access to the user’s friends and family contacts, insurance company or agent, vehicle identification data, local emergency services (police, fire, ambulance, and hospitals), geographic location of the accident and even tips of what to do if involved in an accident. It is capable of retrieving the contact information for nearby towing services, Sherwin-Williams A-Plus™ Network body shops, and car rental locations.

“Any time you’re in an accident, it’s a very stressful occasion. Fortunately, most drivers now have their cell phones with them. This new app will supply drivers with the data and contact information through their cell phone to make the entire post-accident process go as smooth as possible,” says Troy Neuerburg, Manager of Marketing Business Services at Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes.

According to Neuerburg, this mobile phone app also can help drivers prepare an accident report and share photos from the scene of the incident. The new app is free for consumers and can be downloaded for iPhone users at Sherwin-Williams iPhone App or for Google Android users at Sherwin-Williams Android App, or by going to www.sherwin-automotive.com.

Using GPS data, the Sherwin-Williams Body Shop App is compatible with most smart phones and devices, including Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia/Symbian, Google Android, Palm, and Microsoft Windows mobile platforms.
