Text Message Reminders: The Key to a Successful Auto Shop

If your auto shop is going to experience the success you’ve always dreamed of, you’ll need to strive for maximum efficiency. After all, your business’s revenue wholly depends on how many vehicles you can get in and out – as quickly as possible.

That’s why a quality scheduling system is an absolute necessity for any auto shop worth it’s salt. And the best way to implement a scheduling system that boosts efficiency and keeps your customers and employees happy is with text message-based appointment reminders.

But text reminders won’t just keep the cars moving through your shop at a steady pace. They’ll also enable you to…

• Quickly reschedule appointments that would’ve ended up as no-shows.
• Minimize the number of latecomers and no-shows your shop currently sees.
• Always keeps your customers in the loop.
• And more…
