01

Where service centers leak hours.

The service writer spends half the day on the phone. Customers spend the other half wondering when their car is ready.

  • 01

    Phones bottleneck the bay

    Every 'is it ready?' call pulls a writer off the floor for 4-6 minutes.

  • 02

    Maintenance memory loss

    Customers forget the 30K, 60K, 90K cadences. So does the dealership.

  • 03

    Estimates over voicemail

    Customers want the inspection in pictures, not a callback chain.

  • 04

    Loaner and pickup chaos

    Coordination across writer, driver, and customer happens in 4 separate threads.

02
