Why checking your car after a long vacation trip is also important

The recommendation for a professional car check-up before a long vacation trip is well known. But a check-up once back is equally important, since it has moved around carrying more weight, occupants and luggage, and has been exposed to more heat, among other situations.

So why don’t we pay the same attention to our car when returning from vacation?

Educating the customer in good practice with its utilities benefits everyone

Despite the fact that your clients traveled with a ready vehicle, the long journeys and summer temperatures can cause negative effects that go unnoticed. Maintaining contact and being aware of the condition of their car, in addition to increasing confidence in the service of your workshop, also has a number of advantages for them, such as:

1. Good car maintenance increases safety

Checking the vehicle often means discovering incidents in the operation that were not noticeable. Detecting and solving them guarantees your safety when driving.

2. Keeping it up to date promotes its longevity

The useful life of the vehicle is enhanced if it is serviced and fixed on time. Quality materials, professional service, technical tools and, above all, constant communication play an important role in this goal. We also prevent it from losing power and performance.

3. Specific inspections mean cost savings

Detecting any damage in time prevents serious breakdowns, helping to save money. A review on time can be decisive for the pocket. According to the DGT, the most common breakdowns in summer are related to the battery, alternator, tires, refrigeration and air conditioning.

4. A vehicle in perfect condition increases its value

If at any time you contemplate giving your utility a second life, having it in the best possible condition revalues its price in the second-hand market and makes it more desirable.

How to encourage clients to visit when they return from vacation?

That you have constant communication with the client is a plus that generates closeness, trust and that makes him have you in his top of mind. He thinks that the car is a very precious value for many people, so the fact that you transmit that care for him always adds up.

Nothing is more important in a business than a personalized treatment with the client. It has so much power that even the price factor can be relegated to second place if the service is excellent.

Now, how can we do such exhaustive monitoring from a workshop? With technology.

At CAR we have developed automotive software, fully customizable to your needs, with which you can:

• Digitize the entire duty cycle.
• Create alerts and reminders to the customer so that they know the dates when it is recommended to do inspections again.
• Convey a much more professional and corporate image.
• Be more productive because you have to be less aware of manual tasks, with agendas or different programs.
• Operate with a very intuitive system, which you can use even from your mobile.
