Service Call Recovery for Car Dealerships

Every service call you miss is a customer someone else keeps.

The service department is where a dealership makes steady money, and it’s the same department where the majority of calls are lost. DealerPulse ensures you never miss a call, books appointments day and night, and update your calendar so your BDC team can focus on customers in the showroom.

A quiet phone line costs you more than you think

At 9:00 AM, all six of your representatives are busy with six different customers in the showroom, and the phone rings. The caller wants something simple, like booking an appointment for oil maintenance, but no one is available to answer the call.

The caller has only one option: to turn to another dealership that answers them in time.

DealerPulse answers your service calls, handles customer queries, and updates your calendar and records the outcome in your CRM. That’s how you can capture more service revenue with DealerPulse instead of taking your callers on voicemails or hold music.

How DealerPulse handles every service call

We’ve trained DealerPulse on a defined process to close a lead so you won’t lose another service call. This is how every step works:

It handles bookings simply

When a caller shows intent to book an appointment, it checks your calendar in real time and gives them empty slots. It writes every detail in the calendar, including the car issue, model, and make, and sends a booking confirmation message to the caller.

Recalls without the long phone calls

Recall calls come in big waves and jam up your phone lines for weeks. The assistant checks the vehicle, explains what happens next, and books the visit. It can also call customers directly about recalls, so a job that would take your team months gets done in days.

Inquiry calls

This is one of the most common service calls. The assistant answers these and takes down any message, with full details in your CRM. So your representatives don’t have to stop a write-up just to repeat what the status board already shows.

Involve representatives

If anything tricky happens, like a warranty question, a diagnostic issue, or an upset customer, it gets sent to your representative, with all the details already written down. So, your representative will know all the details about the situation before making any contact.

Give your BDC more time to work customers

Your representatives shouldn’t have to answer calls while also helping the person in front of them. DealerPulse takes care of the routine calls, so your team can stay focused.
