Reynolds GM dealer, just curious how any of you have been billing out the B3G1 tire for $1 without it affecting PASE? I know they say it should not but I do not trust them.

The process states for parts to bill out 4 tires on the repair order as normal. Service must discount the amount of 1 tire (add $1). Nothing should be affected on the parts side.

That's how I read it too but they acted like they didn't know how to apply the discount or coupon

I assume they = service writers?

Our service manager created a labor op for this buy 3 get 1 for a buck deal. Parts bills out the tires at full price. Writers charge the discount to advertising.

Parts files a claim on GM TIRE (easy to do) every time you bill out 4 tires on that labor op.

I have the service manager run a report once a week to give me a list of all the RO's that use the labor op so I can double check I filed a claim.

I had the service manager make a coupon for it. We bill it out normally, service applies the discount. I run a closed RO report the next day and file the claims on any tire purchases.

Sounds like our service dept, tell them to watch the powerpoint and make a coupon op for it. Not hard imo just laziness

Yes the billing all 4 out regularly and the submitting are easy, I'm not going to worry about it, we have only did one so far and I billed it regularly and then submitted for the 65% bs, if they don't do a coupon properly it's on them I have enough to worry about as is.

We directed the discount line to go to the tire sales account (490) and when we get the rebate on our GM invoices we put them to the same account that way we will know the true cost of this program.
