Jiffy Lubes also have had extraordinary digital data links for about as long as such links existed. They were one of the pioneers in video storage, as for well over a decade they have stored video of their workers performing tasks, to prevent lawsuits. (Oil outs - not properly fastening the oil pan lug- were commonly simulated by scammers to get maximum value out of an older car, at least when I worked for Firestone IT)
Running those links can also be cover for adding antennae links or the links themselves can be used to update vehicle database and map information.
Edit
I should also add that when I worked at firestone ~1990 we were literally building an Intranet from scratch. Attempting to wire all 1500 service locations and all our other inftrstructure we owned together into a single network. Ambitious and the Largest IT faluire (1.1 billion for naught) up to that time. I mention this to allow the original game to possibly use this information it its timeline or for any other timeline.
