A system and method to provide navigational maintenance assistance for a
vehicle includes a first step of estimating when the vehicle will require
maintenance. A next step includes establishing a location and direction
of travel of the vehicle. A next step includes searching a database for
any service stations within a range of the vehicle and ahead of the
location of the vehicle in the direction of travel of the vehicle before
the vehicle becomes disabled. This step can be provided by a remote
service provider. A next step includes presenting the found service
stations from the searching step to a driver of the vehicle via a user
interface.
