Marketing of our Fixed Operations
Many customers are unaware of the vast array of services we provide allowing them to seek our competitors services that are well known to them
3% of service/parts gross is a benchmark for advertising
Maintenance service reminders are a necessity in today's fast paced lifestyles.
Utilizing the internet offers inexpensive and focused marketing of your services.
Use printed maintenance schedules as effective sales and learning aids, and be sure service consultants use these aids to counsel customers about their scheduled maintenance and light repair needs.
Creating Trust through Inspection process
Be sure to complete standard vehicle inspections on every customer’s vehicle, at every visit, at no charge to the customer. This is a great way to develop a trusting relationship as you keep your customers informed of the condition of their vehicles
The Inspection Process will add credibility to your Service Consultants by starting them in the service drive and educating the customer in the process
Technicians gain customer trust through completing the inspection and personalizing it with their name and thanking the customer for their business
