Our show theme, “Your Fastlane to Shop Success,” underscores our commitment to helping shops build and maintain strong connections with customers throughout the entire repair cycle. We make this possible by helping shops “CONNECT | REPAIR | MANAGE,” starting with our marketing solutions from SocialCRM.
CONNECT: Attracting & Retaining Customers with SocialCRM
Our journey toward shop success begins with attracting customers through the door. Mitchell 1’s SocialCRM + LocalSearch marketing solutions provide you with powerful tools to create a strong online presence, increase your shop’s Google rating and enhance customer relationships. Our dedicated marketing specialists will guide you through every step of the journey, from professional website development, automated blog and social media content to suggested review responses.
But the journey doesn’t stop there. We understand the importance of keeping customers engaged throughout the repair process. With automated text messages and emails, you can keep your customers informed about the progress of their vehicle. This not only enhances the customer experience but also builds trust and loyalty.
REPAIR: Diagnosing and Repairing Issues with ProDemand
Once you’ve attracted customers to your shop, it’s time to focus on efficiently diagnosing and repairing their vehicle’s issues. This is where ProDemand repair information comes into play.
ProDemand offers an extensive range of features designed to streamline the diagnostic and repair process. The industry-leading software delivers highly accurate diagnostic, estimating and OEM repair information– combined with over 44 million expert-based fixes – in a single lookup. Its powerful 1Search Plus feature simplifies the search for information, making it easy for your technicians to find the data they need quickly.
Mitchell 1’s industry-leading Advanced Interactive Wiring Diagrams provide a clear path for quick, accurate electric diagnosis. Additionally, with the proliferation of vehicles equipped with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), quick links in ProDemand provide easy access to the latest information for ADAS repairs, including calibration information, to get vehicles back on the road safely.
Finally, the ability to provide fast, accurate and profitable estimates is critical for any repair shop, and ProDemand delivers. The software suite helps you generate estimates efficiently and with confidence, providing you and your customers with clear, transparent pricing.
MANAGE: Increasing Shop Efficiency with Manager SE
The final leg of your journey toward shop success leads you to Manager SE, the industry’s leading shop management software. This powerful tool increases shop efficiency from estimating through invoicing and beyond.
Manager SE simplifies the process of ordering parts with its comprehensive e-catalog section, which now includes multi-vendor parts catalogs. This streamlines the parts procurement process, ensuring you have the right parts at the right time, reducing downtime and improving overall efficiency.
Additionally, in our ever-evolving landscape, staying ahead is key. That’s why Manager SE now incorporates advanced features like remote shop reports so you can monitor your shop’s performance at any time, and address any issues promptly. You can also connect more customers to your Manager SE system with VOYO’s connected car technology, which enables customer vehicles to remotely send diagnostic alerts directly to your shop’s Manager SE system, improving customer service and operating efficiency.
Finally, understanding your shop’s performance is essential for continuous improvement, and Manager SE provides comprehensive data to help you do just that.
