Mobile service is an offering where dealerships dispatch certified technicians to customers’ homes, workplaces, or other locations to perform routine maintenance, repairs, and recall fixes. This eliminates the need for customers to visit the dealership, providing a seamless, time-saving experience.
Traditional service appointments require customers to take time out of their day, arrange transportation, or wait at the dealership. With mobile service, dealerships can meet customers where they are, increasing satisfaction and loyalty. A happy customer is more likely to return for future service needs and recommend the dealership to others.
By offering mobile service, dealerships open up new revenue streams. Customers who might delay or skip routine maintenance due to inconvenience are more likely to book an appointment when the service is brought to them. This leads to more completed repairs, increased upsell opportunities, and higher overall service revenue.
Customers are more likely to remain loyal to a dealership that prioritizes their needs and time. Mobile service strengthens relationships by providing a personalized experience that keeps customers engaged with the dealership, reducing the likelihood of them seeking service from independent shops or competitors.
One of the biggest challenges dealerships face is getting customers to complete recall repairs. Many car owners postpone recalls due to busy schedules or inconvenience. Mobile service allows dealerships to proactively complete recall work at the customer’s convenience, improving safety and reducing liability while also creating an opportunity to inspect and recommend additional service work.
Service bays at dealerships are often fully booked, leading to longer wait times and lost service opportunities. By handling smaller maintenance jobs and minor repairs via mobile service, dealerships can free up service bays for more complex and high-margin work, improving overall shop efficiency.
The automotive industry is evolving, with new entrants like mobile repair startups and independent service providers offering convenient alternatives. Dealerships that embrace mobile service can differentiate themselves and remain competitive by providing an OEM-certified, dealership-backed alternative to these emerging competitors.
