    Which works best? A fixed ops BDC or the actual personnel?

    Which works best? A fixed ops BDC or the actual personnel? This question gets me every time. I struggle, because as an advisor, our first concern is our customers in the waiting room, then our customers who have dropped off for the day. BUT we all know that cars do not show up on their own so...

    Why Service At A Dealership?

    Hey guys! :hello: How does everyone get customers to use a dealership's service lanes instead of running up to the closest Jiffy Lube or mom-and-pop repair shop? I'm thinking about things like factory parts, technicians that are manufacturer certified, etc!
