What if your auto repair business ran like a luxury hotel, a retail store, and an elite service brand—all in one? What if your guests didn’t just get their car fixed, but were treated to an experience they couldn’t stop talking about?
That’s what we’ve built, and we call it auto hospitality—a fully operationalized, fully integrated customer experience model that delivers outrageous service at every touch point. From the first call to the follow-up callback, every step is designed for trust, transparency, and total customer confidence.
Let’s walk through what it looks like when a guest experiences auto hospitality:
It Starts With the Phone Call
From the moment we answer the phone, it’s on. The script is tight, the tone is upbeat, and the questions are purposeful. Within seconds, we’re building trust. We send them a virtual shop tour—a short video highlighting our clean, organized, beautiful facility, our people, our tools, and our difference. We book the appointment, confirm it, and get ready.
When We Open the Front Door is When it All Begins
Upon arrival, it’s important to understand that first impressions matter! When the customer drives up, we’re ready. There’s no wait time. A strong meet and greet kicks things off—smiles, eye contact, name introduction, and a walkaround with intake photos taken for quality assurance and future pre-booking references.
New Customer Introduction: The Real Shop Tour
This is the moment most shops skip—and the one that builds lifelong loyalty. We physically walk the guest through our facility, introducing them to our certified technicians, we show them the bays, each immaculate and well-stocked with big toolboxes, the speed rack for fast-turn inspections, and the presentation station. This station is where we display visuals with their vehicle and explain exactly what the inspection found. It’s like the Apple Store meets the service bay!
Comfort + Transparency = Trust
Once the guest returns to the front we offer a complimentary coffee, soda, or a cold beverage, and seat them in a clean and comfortable space. The advisor gets to work. Within 15 minutes, we’ve diagnosed the issue—or are well into our digital inspection, integrating visual inspection software and ChatGPT explanations to make the complex simple.
We then walk the customer out to their car at the presentation station and perform a live-presentation, showing them exactly what we found. This visual process is key to building trust and converting them into long-term customers.
The next step is to inquire if they need transportation while we are fixing their car. Do they need a ride? We’ve got them covered—free loaners, ride share service, or a shuttle. Their transportation needs are never their problem.
The Repair + Real-Time Updates
Throughout the repair, we keep the customer updated using whatever method they prefer—text, email, or call. Every update is human, personal, and value-driven. This is not automation for automation’s sake—it’s communication with care.
The Perfect Finish
Once the vehicle has been serviced or repaired, we conduct a thorough hand wash and vacuum to ensure it is pristine before parking it conveniently at the front for easy retrieval.
We then carry out a detailed invoice review, carefully discussing each line item, the services performed, warranties, and their associated benefits. Most importantly, we facilitate pre-booking for any future services. Our goal is for the customer to leave satisfied, and often they are still smiling by the time they arrive home.
The Final Touch: Callbacks + Follow-Up
The next morning, our national call center reaches out to the customer with a simple mission: ensure complete satisfaction and remind them of their pre-booked appointment.
Then a final video goes out—personalized, branded, and focused on gratitude, value, and what’s next. This is what we call the key to key to callbacks model, perfected through years of testing and refining.
Auto Hospitality is the retail mindset the automotive industry has been missing. Don’t close on weekends because customers don’t stop needing auto repair and service. We don’t guess—we present, we educate, we connect. This is how you build a lifetime guest, not just a one-time customer.
Want to scale? Want to retain? Want to dominate your market? Start with auto hospitality.
