Customer Retention


Customer Retention / Pre-Paid Maintenance

With the ever changing environment of the automotive industry, it is imperative to have and maintain a strategy that effectively retains customers, promotes a positive ownership experience and cultivates a long-term relationship.
 
Recent researches and studies have uncovered several profound and troubling implications for dealership service departments.
 
Some of these include:
  • Aftermarket chains are increasingly capturing customers.
  • Factory warranties do not indicate where a customer must maintain their vehicles.
  • Industry average of customer retention is a mere 11-17%.
  • Customers are more likely to purchase their next vehicle from where they service their vehicle.
  • Customers are keeping their cars longer than ever before.

Despite being one of a dealer's most important long-term strategies, it is one of the most neglected since only about 24% of dealer's have any kind of customer retention program and even fewer have effective programs.
