Innovative idea offers women peace of mind in repair shops

Tags: , , , , ,

We at www.repairshopwebsites.com have discovered a significant statistic when it comes to women and automotive repair experiences.  According to the article, “Women should study car repair 101” which originally appeared in The Detroit News, a shocking 89 percent of women reported to the Car Care Council that they felt treated differently by their mechanic because they are female.   To turn this statistic around, Gail Dunn, a car-savvy lady, started a program geared toward women and caring for their automobiles—the Women’s Automotive Connection.  Dunn’s organization offers a consultation and referral service for a reasonable fee that advises…

AutoNet TV – A Repair Shop Websites Partner Feature Story

Tags: , , , , , ,

You could do a 360 in the snow when you did not intend to. I remember even going…

Build a Bridge of Trust

Tags: , , , , , ,

What are consumers looking for from their service and repair provider?  The same thing they are looking for from everyone they are spending money with…what is in it for them!  They want you to meet their needs.  They care about how convenient you are, how many certifications you might have and how many bays and awards you have, but mostly they care about how your services benefit them.  Be proud of your accomplishments, but don’t let it ever overshadow what you can do to meet their needs.

 What are they looking for?  Reassurance!
