Expand Service Capacity Without Expanding Hours

e've all heard again and again that customers
are comparing every transaction to the ultra-convenient
experience they get purchasing
on Amazon. But when you're short on technicians
and bays, it can be tough for your service department
to live up to those expectations.
DURING THE MORNING RUSH
During morning rush, under-staffed service drives often
feel like nothing short of chaos for your customers and
AS THE DAY WEARS ON ...
FRUSTRATION BUILDS
As the day wears on, it doesn't get any easier. When
inspections reveal additional work is needed, advisors
frequently end up playing phone tag with customers to
get work approved. Meanwhile their vehicles take up
valuable shop space as the hours tick by and the advisor's
voice messages sit in their mailboxes.
When customers finally call back, your advisor identifies
them, locates the repair order, connects with the customer
and explains service options - all while other customers
are lining up to pay and pick up their vehicles. If
team. Your advisors have to divide their attention between
checking in the customers in front of them and
answering phone calls. As it gets busier, the drive quickly
becomes crowded with long lines and call hold times
steadily increase. Advisors rush to find pricing for parts
and labor and put together rough estimates for callers
in between check-ins.
