Breakdown Shop vs Maintenance Shop
A breakdown shop is a shop that sees their customer when:
- The customer feels it is time for an oil change on their vehicle.
- Their vehicle breaks. A lot of people now a days like the convenience of a 10 minute oil change. However these facilitys do not hire people with sufficient training and experience. Often small issues do not get recognized until they become expensive repairs.
- A breakdown shop’s goal is to see their customer’s vehicle needing repairs frequently.
A maintenance shop is a shop that:
- Tracks and schedules their client’s vehicle maintenance based on their driving habits.
- Book the vehicle’s next appointment tailored to the client’s time schedule for their convenience.
- Performs inspections on their client’s vehicle every time it is in. No 10 minute oil changes here! At least 30 minutes with a highly trained and experienced technician looking your vehicle over.
- Educates and consults with their client about all maintenance and repairs to be performed.
- Provides advance knowledge about up coming maintenance and repairs on their client’s vehicle.
- Provides advance estimates for up coming maintenance and repairs so their client can budget.
- Spends time with their client to build a long-term relationship.
A maintenance shop’s goal is to:
- Save their client’s money be helping to prevent costly and stressful breakdowns.
- To make their client’s motoring life as simple and easy as possible.
