* Personalize the experience: Remember customer
names, preferences, and service history. A little personalization
can go a long way in building rapport.
* Follow up and seek feedback: Reach out to customers
after their service to ensure satisfaction and gather
valuable feedback for continuous improvement.
ACTION STEPS
1. Identify areas for improvement in terms of technology,
ambiance, and customer experience.
2. Implement online appointment scheduling, digital
menus, and a customer communication platform.
3. Provide training on customer service skills, conflict
resolution, and effective communication
ACTION STEPS
1. Role-play conflict scenarios and de-escalation
techniques with colleagues.
2. Develop a " go-to " phrase to acknowledge customer
frustration such as, " I understand your concern, and
I'm here to help find a solution. "
3. Be transparent: Maintain open communication
throughout the repair process, proactively updating
customers on any changes or delays.
OUT WITH THE OLD
Today's tech-savvy customers expect your service
drive to be as advanced as they are. Paper ROs and
lack of MPI videos, for example, don't inspire confidence
in today's world. Here's how to modernize the
experience:
* Embrace technology: Utilize online appointment
scheduling, digital service menus, and text communication
to provide a convenient and efficient experience.
*
Empower your team: Train your service advisors
to be customer service champions. Equip them with
the skills and knowledge to anticipate needs, answer
questions, and go the extra mile.

Winning the service wars isn't just about fixing cars; it's
about fueling connections that lead to positive customer
experiences and a solid department reputation. Take
these training techniques into account and keep what's
yours. Don't donate customers to your competition!
