Traditional inspections are inefficient for dealers. It takes a lot of time to check the exterior of the vehicle, lift it to view the undercarriage, and examine tires. Often issues can go unnoticed, causing your dealership to miss out on potential upsells.
Attend this free webinar to hear a conversation between Glenn Hemminger of UVeye and Bill Weaver, General Manager of Mentor Kia. They will discuss the challenges of manual inspection at dealerships, and the potential benefits of automating these processes.
You'll learn about consistency in inspection processes, enhancing used car appraisals, and providing certainty of achieving inspection standards every time, that lead to better CSI and higher profitability.
Every dealership in North America strives to maintain service absorption rates of 85% or higher — yet only a handful of dealers hit the 3-digit level of absorption percentage.
A dealer’s performance and service employees compensation are largely measured by your service absorption rate; however, the average dealer fails to reach 60%. In fact, according to NADA, the average dealer hasn’t averaged over 60% service absorption in over a decade!
The solution is simple, right?
• Sell more cars
• Write more repair orders
• Sell more service
• Add more service bays
• Hire more technicians
That all takes time, money, real estate — and good luck finding techs to hire.
This webinar will provide solutions for you to reach your service absorption goals while increasing profitability, CSI & customer retention in a few easy steps that do not require all the heavy lifting the industry experts tell us is necessary. It’s time to look at this consistent issue from another perspective and become one of the dealers who reaches the OEM benchmarks and your leadership’s goals.
