How to get customers to come back for warranty parts?

Postby partslife » Tue Jan 14, 2020 2:37 pm

We have a lot of warranty special ordered parts and the customers take too long or never come back to have them installed. How do I prevent this? Ideas??

Stop ordering parts for customers that won't commit to a return appointment.

That's good once we know they are, but for everyone else is where the problem is. Maybe hold a credit card on file and if they don't show up for their appointment in the time frame stated, we charge them for the parts. Just saying...

"partslive" I am confused by your response; a credit card?

The vehicle is in your shop, diagnosed by a qualified Technician, the customer authorizes repairs, you set an appointment, you order the part.....Simple. The only effort on your part is if the customer no-shows which requires a call.

I have a 93% SOR install rate and average ninety-six non-internal repair orders per day.

This is why customer don't come back.
Body shop and service order parts that are Not needed!!!
Customer come in has check engine light. They hook up scanner .Hey need vent valve and canster order that.Clear light never come back on.
Parts suck with parts.
Body shop .customer come in headlamp is fog up. order lamp. Clears up in day we are stuck with lamp again
