Do these 5 things to ruin your customer relationship, before your Technicians see the car: "Do you have an appointment" "The car hasn't been here before" "Oh, you have a Service Contract 🙄" "What's the appointment name" "It says on rims, did you forget the wheel lock key?" My relationship with Toyota, up until my purchase of a Toyota, was always of respect and admiration for customer service, policy, processes, and quality. As of today, waiting for the second service on my wife's 24' Camry XLE hybrid, I call all of that into question. Please, audit your your service drive processes regularly. Your front-line staff may be killing your RO counts, customer retention, and profitability long before the car ever touches the shop floor, and those "expensive Technicians" EDIT: ...no customer interview ...no walkaround ...no discussion of what's going to happen ...no introduction to a new store ...no attempt to sell a detail ...no MPI And still doesn't know my name. j.

The poor performing Toyota stores fail usually in one or two ways. Available volume is so great that they think “ah well, we’ll get em next time” Available volume is so great that they think “OMG, we’re drowning and we just have to tread water so in, out, repeat” High performing Toyota stores have the same or higher volume conditions but don’t do either of those lines of thinking. In fact, if they doubled tomorrow the process itself would look or feel no different because it’s basically infinitely scalable

So many ways to connect with our customers, yet we miss so many opportunities to relate.

My opinion. But there’s no excuse for a SD not knowing how their SA’s are greeting their customers. Second time in that’s a whole different issue.
