MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE REMINDERS = INCREASED PROFITS
Don’t let the Dealership Service Centers get the upper hand on building trust, loyalty, brand and profits by being the only ones promoting OEM Manufacturer Recommended service to your customers.
Get a competitive edge against car dealerships by demonstrating your expertise in vehicle specific manufacturer recommended maintenance. With OEM email and postcard reminders, you can tap into the billions of dollars worth of preventative maintenance that goes unperformed every year.
Most dealerships find providing regular service to a customer is one of the most significant contributors to customer loyalty and the greatest indicator of where a person will choose to have more costly repairs done. The preventative maintenance work becomes a customer touchpoint.
The dealerships have been doing this forever. People take their cars in because the dealership sends them reminders. The reminders have conditioned people think they have to use the dealership.
Don’t let dealerships get all the work. Let your customers know you can do the work. This work needs to be done. Your shop might as well be the one doing it.
