— Mark Christian, Service Operations at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet in Buford, GAI didn’t change anything else. I didn’t hire an advisor. I didn’t change my Labor Rate. I didn’t have any specials. I didn’t have any menus. Nothing changed, other than eAdvisor.
The Challenge
After using the eAdvisor scan tool for the first time, Mark Christian, director of service operations at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet in Buford, GA, saw an opportunity to make life easier for his service advisors.
The Solution
The eAdvisor system streamlines the write-up process. It automatically pulls vehicle information (VIN, Odo, DTCs and more) service contract info, recalls, and OEM recommended maintenance menus. This system guides service advisors’ actions during customer check-in, so the process is always consistent, correct, and automatic. It reduces the chance for human error when inputting information like the VIN and mileage, so reports are always accurate. Christian knew eAdvisor was the perfect solution for his advisors. Not only would it allow for consistency, but each advisor would “have more swings at bat” for upsell opp.
The Result
Maintenance and warranty information, direct from the manufacturer, helped increase customers’ trust in their advisor’s service recommendations. And with it, a significant increase in service revenue. eAdvisor is a game-changer.
