System and method for prompting vehicle service based on proximity and wait time

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory module communicatively coupled to the processor and including one or more processor-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
• determine a proxy vehicle location, the proxy vehicle location is a future location of a vehicle to visit;
• select a maintenance facility of a plurality of maintenance facilities capable of performing one or more maintenance tasks required by a vehicle based on:
• (i) a plurality of magnitudes of distance between the proxy vehicle location and the plurality of maintenance facilities;
• and
• (ii) a plurality of wait times for the plurality of maintenance facilities to perform the one or more maintenance tasks;
• compare the plurality of magnitudes of distance to a distance threshold to select the maintenance facility located within the distance threshold;
• automatically adjust the distance threshold using one or more machine learning algorithms based on a preference of a user;
• in response to selection of the maintenance facility, automatically send information regarding the one or more maintenance tasks required by the vehicle and a location of the vehicle to the selected maintenance facility;
• and
• autonomously navigate the vehicle from the proxy vehicle location to the selected maintenance facility in response to determining that the vehicle stays in the proxy vehicle location longer than a projected maintenance time at the selected maintenance facility.
