Open recalls affect both the safety and reliability of vehicles, putting drivers and passengers at risk. As a dealership, dealerships play a vital role in ensuring these vehicles receive the necessary repairs to keep them safe on the road. Addressing recalls not only helps protect customers but also reinforces the dealership’s commitment to vehicle safety and care.
One of the most compelling aspects of recalls is that they are a free service to the customer. Manufacturers cover the cost of parts and labor, meaning customers can have their vehicles repaired at no expense. This makes reaching out about open recalls an easy conversation; customers benefit from enhanced vehicle safety without financial burden.
Dealerships have exclusivity to perform recall repairs. This gives dealerships a unique advantage to bring customers back to their service department rather than losing them to independent shops. Once a customer visits the dealership for a recall, it opens the door for additional service opportunities, such as regular maintenance and upsell services.
A recall campaign provides a unique opportunity to reconnect with customers who may have previously opted out of standard marketing communications. Since recalls are a critical safety issue, they fall under a different set of communication guidelines, allowing dealers to reach customers who may have previously disengaged from other service promotions.
Recalls are more than just a safety repair, they're a gateway to stronger customer relationships and increased revenue. Here's how:
Retention: Bringing customers back for a recall service re-establishes contact, giving dealers the chance to reintroduce them to their service team and dealership benefits.
Revenue: While the recall repair itself is free, recall visits often lead to the discovery of other service needs, such as tire replacements, brake inspections, and fluid changes.
Long-Term Loyalty: Providing excellent service during a recall visit can convert a one-time visit into a long-term service relationship.
