Why Use Text Messaging for Dealerships & Repair Shops?

When was the last time you did anything with a mailer besides throwing it away? Never? We thought so.

Mailers about your model year-end sales event will end up in a recycling center. Calls are disruptive and annoying—plus, 66% of people prefer texting to communicate with businesses over any other method.

Text marketing cuts through the chatter. Using it means getting more repeat customers for service and more people willing to shop from your lot.

Time Savings

Your repair technicians don’t have time to wait by the phone for the next potential customer to call for service.  Text messaging for auto repair shops reduces a process that involves multiple missed calls, at least five minutes of your technician’s time, and too much patience to a matter of clicks. Save your technicians or administrative team the time they would otherwise spend on the phone scheduling service or playing tag with potential customers.

Rapid Customer Outreach

A process that takes days by mail or hours with a game of phone tag takes just seconds with the right automotive text message marketing tools.

Easy Integration

Using SMS for car dealerships allows you to integrate your customer communications with service updates and inspection tools using Zapier. Provide for a seamless, convenient customer experience.

Customer Convenience

When was the last time you were excited to take time out of your schedule to navigate a phone maze so you could get customer service? Yeah, we thought so. Whether they’re looking for information about tire sales you’re hosting or the status of their vehicle while you’re working on it, it’s more convenient for both them and your team to be able to text about your services. They’ll be more likely to want to work with you and more willing to schedule repeat services with you if they’re satisfied with your work.

How to Use SMS for Your Shop or Dealership

Schedule Appointments

Take the hassle out of your customer’s hands when they need to schedule service. Texting software makes scheduling appointments easy and quick.

Provide Vehicle Inspections

Update your customers on their vehicle’s repair progress by sending MMS messages with photos from your multi-point inspection during their next oil change.

Promote Sales Events

Never wonder again if your customers saw a promotion for your sales event. With automated text messaging for car dealerships and repair centers, you can let them know immediately.

Text blasts have among the highest open rates in marketing. Use them to reach out and ensure your customers get the message—and book more service appointments.

Engagement Made Easy

Dealership texting software lets you directly communicate with your customers and answer their questions when they have them, right at their fingertips.

Fast Notices

Tell your audience about your changes in hours or service—or critical recalls they should know about—in seconds, rather than waiting for your customers to open their mailboxes. Text blasts through TextSpot let them receive the latest information immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

While email and social media are valuable marketing tools, they’re not as free as you think. Emails in particular just don’t have the same level of open rates as text messages. Even more, social media doesn’t always put your posts in front of the people who need to see them—or costs money to promote to your exact audience through social media ads.
