A Great Service Lane Process = A Great Customer Experience

Establish a Professional And Complete Service Lane Selling Process

Do You Have Any Gaps in Your Process?

There are 3 elements of a Service Lane Selling Process:

  1. The Process itself: What is ‘supposed’ to happen in a progression of steps
  2. Compliance to the Process: What percentage of time does each step of the Process actually happen
  3. Quality of each Step: How well is each step of the Process performed

Any gaps in your Process, means that the next step is more difficult to execute…a great Process is smooth and easy for both your advisors and customers…each step logically setting up the next so that both your advisors and customers know what to expect.

Anything That You Could Improve On?

Once a Process is established, the next step is for your staff to follow the Process…Compliance to the Process…and then ultimately how well they perform each step….the Quality of each step.

In order to do that easily and smoothly with every customer,  your staff will need the Tools and Training to be able to effectively and efficiently do what we’re asking them to do.


The result is a dramatic increase in Service Sales, Profit, CSI and Customer Retention

…and Delighted Customers that tell family, friends and social media contacts about their Great Customer Experience

Present Maintenance Services In 3 Key Areas

Pre-appointment Preparation

Are You Preparing For Your Customer Before They Come In?

If a customer has an appointment, ideally we’ll conduct a pre-appointment preparation to determine any additional time and mileage based required maintenance services that are due, or past due, or needed repairs from prior visits, that the customer should have done on their visit…as well as any outstanding recalls.

Why Keep It a Secret?

If we determine that there are additional services that should be performed, why keep it a secret?

  • …we’ll need to tell them anyway when they come in
  • …why ‘surprise’ them when we can get them the information ahead of time and give them an early opportunity to add it into their appointment
  • …particularly important if it’s a non-contact appointment
  • …the right tools allow you to do just that by generating an information package for your customer that explains:
    • what services are due, and past due
    • and also an explanation of the NEED for and BENEFIT of those exact services

The result is that a high percentage of customers will simply add additional services to their appointment even before they come in

…and customers ‘warmed-up’ to the idea that other services are due, makes it a lot more comfortable for your advisors to talk about the services, and easier for customers to buy 

Advisor Opportunity

Prior To Going Into The Shop Presentation?

Maintenance services that should be performed based on time and mileage, ideally are presented by the Service Advisor before the vehicle goes into the shop…if we have the right presentation tools we know what they are.

…why wouldn’t we tell them? …the customer would expect us to let them know

Need For And Benefit Of Those Services?

Since the customer didn’t request them, the odds are that they didn’t know about them…so it’s critical to ensure that they understand the NEED for and BENEFIT of those services, before we ask them to buy.

…the right presentation tools allow your Service Advisors to do just that


The result is that customers are much more likely to comfortably and easily buy these services

…much better than the often awkward ‘drop it in on them’ later as an ‘upsell’ ‘list-of-services-with-a-price’ from a technician inspection report

Active Delivery

Are You Preparing And Educating Your Customer About Their Next Visit?

With the right presentation tools it’s quick and easy to let a customer know what to expect on their next visit, before they leave.

…ideally we’d let them know about the time and mileage based maintenance services coming up next, along with the NEED for and BENEFIT of those services

Are You Building Your Sales Pipeline?

Done every time with with every customer, time and mileage based maintenance services simply become part of the next appointment

…the right presentation tools make it quick and easy to hand them a printed copy and/or send a copy to them via email even if it’s a non-contact appointment


The result is that your Delighted Customers are happy to come back

…and with recommended services already part of that next appointment, Service Sales, Profit, CSI and Customer Retention all jump up again
