Save your customers money through TPMS Servicing and Tyre Maintenance then reap the rewards!

Tyre Maintenance is crucial to vehicle performance and efficiency.

Did you know, educating your customers can hold the key to the success of your business?

So, if this is the case, how often do you let your customers know what they could do for their vehicle to make their lives easier?

When it comes to tyres, we all know how vital they are to the performance and efficiency of operating a vehicle. By regularly checking and maintaining the condition of tyres, your customers can reduce upkeep costs but increase the safety of their car.

Making sure your customers are aware of the benefits of consistently checking their tyres, could make the difference in gaining their repeat custom.

Never underestimate Trust!

Being a helpful and trusted garage can make a massive difference to your services. If you are renowned for providing excellent tyre maintenance advice and supplying a great service, the likelihood is you will see them again soon.

Gaining the trust of customers can be a difficult task, but helpful tips and a little bit of charm can go a long way.

Take advantage of TPMS…

Since 2014, every newly manufactured car comes with Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) installed, which makes the procedure of recognising any tyre issues a lot easier.

Unless you are a professional though, knowing how they work and what to do when you get an alert can be confusing and quite alarming.

Being sure your customer’s TPMS system is working efficiently is also a great way to get customers on your side – it also allows notifications of any problems to be identified quickly, meaning less cost for them and more revenue for you.

Here is what you need to succeed:

All garage owners are wary of an initial outlay for new services – the demand for TPMS however, is only going to increase, so you don’t want to miss out.

Some car owners don’t even know they have TPMS!

This is a baffling notion; however, some new or even experienced drivers are unaware that their car has TPMS installed. Inform and provide them with the information they need to identify any issues regarding TPMS.

The magic formula to picking your new wheel balancer!

Many of us are not contemplating a new investment in terms of the return it will bring, only considering the cost required to offer the service.

Relating this to balancing, each garage will have their own thoughts on the subject, as everyone’s balancing equipment requirements are different – as is the potential revenue.

How long before your wheel balancer makes you money?WB49 2D Balancer

Knowing the answer to this means knowing how long it will take to earn a return on your investment!

Take this basic sum:

Cost of balancer / (Cost charged per balance*Average number of balances completed a week) = Number of weeks to pay off your balancer

From there it’s all profit! If you are starting out from scratch, projecting realistic numbers could help you adjust your charge & ensure your business is sustainable.

Every time you complete a tyre fitting job with a tyre changer, a wheel balancer is required to perform the balancing service for that complete customer service so you can take the number of wheels you expect to fit as the average number of balances completed a week.

Ensure you are upselling balancing correctly to the customer as an essential service for safe driving as part of all tyre fitting.

Let’s put that into perspective…

If you are performing at least one balancing job per day and say you purchase a mid-range wheel balancer from our Tyre Bay Direct product range e.g. the Atlas WB49 Wheel Balancer at £1,195 + VAT, it will only take you ONE MONTH for every job to then become pure profit!

WOW.

Our range of Wheel Balancers – discover the perfect tyre changing companion!

You could work the return out for the week, month or even days based on the frequency you fit and balance tyres.

So, if you are holding back on purchasing a brand-new wheel balancer for your garage services because you are unsure of the benefit, then don’t worry, we have a wheel balancer for every budget in mind & are happy to calculate the return on investment with you!

[ux_products ids=”5620,26415,20262,10858,14437″]

The result!

Your garage’s tyre fitting services are tangible and bringing in enough business easily helps calculate the return your equipment is giving you. This is an approach we’ve seen make many a garage successful!
