How to Improve Customer Loyalty for Your Auto Mechanic Business

how to improve auto mechanic customer loyalty

For auto mechanic shops, customer loyalty can be the difference between a thriving business and a failing business. With so many options to choose from, drivers can (and will) shop around until they find a mechanic that checks all their boxes. What if there’s a way to get them to come to you — and only you?

Investing in customer loyalty goes hand-in-hand with customer retention, which pays off in big ways. Returning customers are five times more likely to purchase from you again, and they’ll spend 67% more than new customers. And yes, they’re even willing to pay more for added convenience and customer service.

Using Automated Emails in Auto Repair Online Scheduling

An auto repair online scheduling system comes with many useful features. Besides the standard scheduling functions, the system is actually multipurpose and has many features you should take advantage of. Monthly reporting, time management, and online payment integration are just a few examples of what a good system can do for you. However, in this blog post, we will specifically focus on automated emails, the benefits, and how you can correctly implement them for your auto repair business. Let’s get to it.

Save Your Time

Automated emails in your auto repair online scheduling system will, without a doubt, save a lot of time for you. For example, many systems allow you to automate reminder emails. On the day of the booked appointment, your customer will receive a reminder that they have booked an appointment. Depending on how many customers you have throughout the day or week, manually writing out numerous emails can get very boring and waste a lot of your valuable time. All you have to do is draft up one general outreach message, and later your system will automatically send this out.

Never Miss a Customer

When you do these things manually, you give yourself room for errors. These things happen from time to time. They are, however, preventable. For example, imagine you have a list of clients that you need to email, for whatever reason. Depending on how long or short the list is, you could accidentally forget to write down a couple of email addresses. With a good system in place, you don’t ever have to worry about this again. Emails will be fully automated, so all you have to do is come up with an outreach message, as we mentioned in a different example.

No Need to Confirm

This is probably one of the best and most practical use cases of automated emails in an auto repair online scheduling system. Upon booking their appointment, your customers will see exactly which time slots you have available. Once they have decided on a time, the rest is basically done automatically. Your customers will receive an email asking them to confirm their booking. As soon as they follow the confirmation link, the appointment is made unavailable to others. Conversely, if the customer decides to cancel an appointment, that same process applies in this scenario as well. Your customer will receive an automated email asking to approve the cancelation. In essence, the atomization of these emails saves you so much time. Imagine having to deal with booked and canceled appointments manually.

In this blog post, we discussed the beauty of automated emails within an auto repair online scheduling system. These automated emails save a lot of your time, as they do not require any interference from you to work properly. Upon setup, you will see what a useful feature this is. Many functions that had to be done manually in the past, can now be done by the click of some buttons.  In addition to saving time, your system will ensure you that you never miss or skip a customer.
