If a service customer is called with additional repair recommendations after their car is on the lift, they feel vulnerable, get frustrated and mark down their satisfaction even if the service was necessary and carried out well. They can feel they are not in control or are being taken advantage of.
Superservice Triage is an online service selling solution that maximizes upsell service acceptance and increases customer satisfaction. It merges precision OE information, service advisor multi-point inspection, and customer sales psychology to transform the service sales process. It fosters customer involvement, awareness and a sense of "being in control of the situation", from which they can make informed decisions about their vehicle's servicing.
Customers' involvement and certainty in the inspection process instills trust and confidence in their service advisor. This leads to larger service order authorizations on the spot and when followed up later. Superservice Triage addresses three essential buyer prerequisites: Information, Involvement and Control.
Precision, Process, and Participation. Superservice Triage enables service advisors to identify, record, and track specific service lane diagnoses and instantly deliver an easy-to-understand report to the customer. The process begins with the technician conducting an OE and VIN-specific multi-point vehicle inspection — a "triage". Using an easy-to-use tablet computer, the inspection can be performed in minutes. When Triage is integrated with Superservice Menus, parts, labor, fluids, shop supplies, and pricing are instantly available. This creates a powerful information selling advantage that maximizes immediate repair order acceptances and authorizations.
The fast inspection and reporting process means the service advisor can immediately discuss the identified repairs with their customers. They can discuss the reasoning or consequences of doing the repairs now rather than later. If a customer isn't able to stay for the inspection, the triage report can be emailed to them. In either case, the service advisor provides customers with an informative, fully detailed, and professionally presented report, which forms the basis of any follow-up discussions. The report can be provided in English, Spanish or French Canadian to suit the customers' needs.
Superservice Triage provides instantaneous and comprehensive analytics that significantly improve service sales closing. When used as intended, it has a proven track record of increasing revenue, profitability and customer satisfaction ratings. It makes personnel more productive and service advisors more effective.
It monitors, tracks and reports on identified work, immediate customer acceptances, and follow-up acceptances. Its easy-to-use performance appraisal reports help service management increase parts and labor sales. Reports are easy to interpret and allow comparison between current performance and previous time periods. They can be based on various sales metrics including:
Superservice Triage is specifically designed for the job of repair identification and sales closure. Customers will often find reasons to defer recommended repairs on the day of service, however with Superservice Triage the revenue opportunity is not lost. Superservice Triage stores and organizes deferred work so customers can be contacted at a future date for follow-up. Service advisors are empowered to make follow-up calls with confidence, knowing the customer has received a professional inspection report detailing safety and performance related repairs. The courteous and timely contact demonstrates care and concern before potential issues become a safety or more costly financial burden to the customer. The follow-up process helps to build customer-relationships whilst maximizing revenue opportunities that would otherwise be lost to the competition.
