<p>A fluid exchange machine, such as a brake fluid exchange machine or an automatic transmission fluid exchange machine, that includes a new fluid tank, a waste fluid collector, a pump for introducing new fluid into a vehicle, and a controller for managing the operation of the fluid exchange machine. Coupled to the controller is a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver that can identify the location of the fluid exchange machine, and a wireless transmitter that can transmit the location of the fluid exchange machine to a remote location. In a preferred embodiment, the wireless transmitter can also track and communicate the number and time of each fluid exchange operation, and the amount of fluid, so the recipient of the data can discern where the fluid exchange machine is at all times, how many fluid exchange operations the machine performs, and when each fluid exchange operation is performed.</p> |
