1. A system comprising:
a media server associated with a vehicle servicing system including:
a media server processor;
a media server communication device configured to communicate with a remote storage via a wide area network;
a media storage including pre-stored media content; and
server computer-readable media configured to store computer-executable instructions configured to cause the media server processor to:
responsive to a request for at least one media selection including media content available from the remote storage from a media presentation device communicatively couplable to the vehicle servicing system via a local network, retrieve from the remote storage via the wide area network the media content and store the media content on the media storage of the media server, and
provide the media presentation device access to the media content stored on the remote storage via the local network; and
the media presentation device including:
a processor;
a media presentation communication device configured to communicate with the media server via the local network; and
computer-readable media configured to store computer-executable instructions configured to cause the processor to:
responsive to detecting that the media presentation device is communicatively couplable to the vehicle servicing system, communicatively couple the media presentation device to the media server associated with the vehicle servicing system via the local network;
determine an estimated duration for which the media presentation device will be communicatively coupled to the vehicle servicing system;
filter media content available via the media server to identify the at least one media selection having a presentation time that is no longer than the determined duration and display a list of media selections comprising the at least one media selection to a user;
provide the media presentation device with access to the media content available via the media server; and
retrieve a media selection selected by the user from the displayed list of media selections via the media server and the local network.
