Breaking down is a rare event indeed for a Honda, but when it happens this app could help. Available for both Android and iPhone, it gives you quick and easy access to the Honda Breakdown Service. If you've broken down, use the app to pinpoint your exact location and send it to Honda, so that they can reach you quickly.

• Honda Breakdown & Accident Assistance: the app finds your exact location on a street level map. Information about your location is sent to Honda when you call, helping them to locate you quickly.
• AA Roadwatch: avoid delays to your journey with live updates on traffic and roadworks. Updates are shown on a detailed street level map.
• My Reminders: store important dates for your vehicle, like service, MOT and insurance renewal dates.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the new Shell Motorist app for iPhone and Android mobiles.

The app helps you to find Shell stations anywhere in the country when you need to fill up and get the right fuel, as well as helping you plan your journey. You can find out what fuels and facilities are available and in the UK as a Shell Drivers' Club Member you can check your loyalty scheme points and transactions and receive offers. Finally, you can keep on top of your vehicle's maintenance by setting reminders to alert you when your vehicle tax, insurance, servicing or annual check-ups are due.

The app is now available in the UK, download it at http://www.shell.co.uk/motoristapp.

There is a new feature at Trident Honda relating to our used cars. When you walk around the current used car stock on our forecourt, you will see QR codes placed in the side windows of the vehicles.

If you're not yet familiar with QR codes, they're similar to the barcodes used by retailers but hold a larger amount of data. Although relatively new to the UK marketplace, they've been actively used for over a decade in Japan where they were invented.
