It takes more to deepen a relationship.  My panel of shop owners goes beyond the free wifi and beverages to really wow their customers and make that lasting impression. Amenities are your ultimate marketing tool for your business. Take Note!

  • Why Amenities- loaner cars, coffee, tea, branded water bottle, free wifi, hand sanitizers, ice scrappers, little things make a big difference.
  • Customer experience- ‘be so good they won’t forget you,’ it’s your ultimate marketing tool. Customers expect the repair to be done correctly, but what gives them a lasting impression?
  • As an owner, show your team members and vendors the same amount of service as you do your guests
  • FORD- family, occupation, recreation, dreams
  • Any car seat gets a buckled bear in the car seat by technicians- notes are saved in a customer file
  • Wow Budget- empowered employees
