Something I wish I knew when I was a dealer...

4 out of 5 sales do not use your service department :eek3:

People who don't use service have a single-digit chance of coming back to buy another car from you.

Buyers who use service one time are twice as likely to come back to buy another car.

Your golden customers are the ones who used your service department 4 or more times before buying their next vehicle. They can represent nearly half your service customers.

If I knew this when I was selling cars, I would have introduced every customer to service!
 

✨ AI Highlights

Alex Snyder shares striking data showing that 4 out of 5 car buyers never use the dealership's service department, and those who don't have only a single-digit chance of returning for another purchase. The key insight is that service loyalty directly drives repeat sales — customers who visit service four or more times before their next purchase represent nearly half of loyal buyers, making the service walk at delivery a critical and often overlooked sales retention tool.
