DOORS
IMPROVE
COMFORT
Overhead Doors Improve Service Department Comfort
for Customers and for Workers
T
here's fierce competition in the world of auto
service. Customers have a lot of choices. Because
many of those options appear identical,
it often leads to choosing a service provider based on
price alone. Similarly, the skilled labor shortage causes
many technicians to change jobs solely because of
better pay. For fixed ops to differentiate themselves
from the rest, they must provide an inviting and pleasing
experience for customers and workers. Although it
may not be top of mind, overhead doors play a major
role in the comfort and perception of the service lane
and workshop.
TODAY'S MINDSET
" In the past, the focus on designing
a space for comfort was in the
showroom, where the sales people
could sit down with customers
in a temperature controlled, bright
and clean environment. Today, that
mindset has changed, and there's
more emphasis on improving the
44
service areas, " says Martin Meissner, Program Director
at ID Automotive, a project management consultancy
that helps auto dealerships with facility projects,
including new construction and renovations
When people feel comfortable in a service environment,
they're more likely to return. A welcoming atmosphere
puts people at ease and lays a foundation to build longer-term
relationships that don't rely on lower prices
or higher employee pay. Creating that environment
includes choosing the right high-speed overhead doors
that provide especially unique advantages.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Often, service is the only touchpoint
a dealership has with a customer
after the initial sale. Their experience
starts at the entryway to the
service drive. High-speed overhead
doors with full vision clear panels
provide a great first impression in
several ways.
