NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DropCar, Inc. (NASDAQ:DCAR), a provider of app-based automotive logistics and mobility services for both consumers and dealers, today announced a new agreement with Jaguar Land Rover Manhattan. The dealership will use DropCar’s Enterprise Vehicle Assistance & Logistics technology platform (“VAL”) to automate the pickup and delivery of customer vehicles for service and maintenance.
