FREE MARKETING TIP

Auto repair shops should always seek to do business with customers who genuinely want to do business with them. A shop will always find it tougher to please a steered consumer than one who decides for himself/herself which shop to patronize. According to J.D. Power and Associates? Collision Repair Satisfaction Index Study, consumers who use an auto insurance provider that requires a vehicle to be taken to one of its ?preferred provider? body shops are less satisfied overall than those who are able to choose their own repair shop. The study, which measures customer satisfaction with insurance carriers when claims are filed, finds that consumers whose insurance provider stipulated which body shop they had to use expressed the greatest dissatisfaction. Consumers whose insurance provider gave them a choice of two or more body shops to select from were slightly more satisfied, but remained less satisfied than those who selected their own body shop. For best success, a shop shouldn?t think it can make happy customers of those who don?t want to do business with it in the first place.


MARKETING SUCCESS STORY
?2006 AGRSS Council. All rights reserved. Reprinted with permission

AGRSS registrant Jason Polzin is the manager of Polzin Glass, an AGRSS-registered shop that has taken the first step to educate consumers about the importance of proper windshield installations. Polzin, store manager with Polzin Glass in Faribault, Minn., recently talked with AGRR magazine about his safety-centered marketing program. It?s a good lesson in marketing for all high-quality auto repair businesses, even collision repair shops, that find themselves competing with shops emphasizing price over quality.

AGRR: I hear you have an interesting marketing strategy. Can you tell us about it?

Jason Polzin: One thing we're doing right now is creating a brochure that will have a safety checklist on it for our customers. It is something I created that has points on it, telling customers what to ask when they're calling a glass company to get a price or to have a windshield replaced. [Customers] need to ask [shops] these questions and make sure they're following all proper procedures, doing quality work and are educated about the latest changes in the industry before they have them do an installation.

The checklist is a way for us to make sure that we do not have to compete with low price shops that aren't providing the same quality. A lot of times people will just say, 'What's your price?' [MORE]
