When it comes to fixed operations, numbers are everything. The more vehicles you can service, the more profit you can make. The challenge, however, is balancing a high-producing team with excellent customer experience.
In this on-demand webinar originally hosted on Automotive News, Jordan Patterson and Judson Jones from Car Wars will join Tully Williams, Service and Parts Director at The Niello Company, to discuss how the latter achieves fixed ops success. An innovator in fixed operations space, Williams will explain why he monitors every aspect of his Service Department and how zeroing in on the numbers and setting transparent goals leads to success. Williams will share his crucial steps to fostering a Service Department that prioritizes accountability, puts customer experience first, innovates for success and, most importantly, celebrates team wins.
