Re: Xtime Engage

Re: Dealership Change....what would you do?

I will share things that I have learned over the years going through buy/sells at different dealers. If the right offer is made, every dealership is for sale! That fact should not influence what you do on a day to day basis. Until the new owner actually has the keys its not a done deal .... I would ...

Re: RPR REPORT

all information on reports can be manipulated but at face value it is pretty accurate to what is happening with your advisors-if you are looking to pay an advisor off the report or if you see something odd in the report, I would like at their pay plans to see if they are manipulating something.

Re: Unused Product

Why not just add it on your used cars recon process until the product is gone and call it a day and not lose any money???

Re: Warranty %

who inputs your warranty claims? if you have a warranty admin. i would check with that person. It sounds like there are some write offs going on, but you have to look at the claim statement from the manufacturer and see what kind of adjustments are being made.

Re: Warranty Outsourcing Jobs

Sounds like you need to start your own outsourcing company and invite our current employer to use your services if they wish, I would think that you would have any easy time finding clients due to the current recall / warranty pace. It seems incredibly short sighted of your current employer not to ...

Re: Warranty Oil Change Rant

By the way, the app is probably the cheapest thing I have done in a long time-50 ...
