The Power of Bundled Services: Selling More Hours Through Convenience and Value
When it comes to maximizing profitability in your dealership’s service department, bundled services are a proven strategy to increase hours per work order. By packaging complementary services, you not only enhance customer satisfaction but also ensure your team spends more time on valuable, revenue-generating tasks.
Creating Attractive Service Packages
Bundles are most effective when they align with customer needs and highlight value. For example, combining an oil change, tire rotation, and multi-point inspection creates a comprehensive package that addresses multiple maintenance requirements in a single visit. This approach encourages customers to commit to more services upfront, boosting the total billable hours per appointment.
The key is to make these packages easy to understand and visually appealing. Clearly communicate the cost savings customers will enjoy compared to purchasing each service individually.
Highlighting Customer Benefits
By offering service bundles, you address customer pain points while increasing work order value:
Cost Savings: Bundles are more economical than standalone services, making them an attractive option.
Convenience: Customers save time by tackling multiple vehicle needs in one appointment, encouraging them to opt for additional services.
Proactive Care: Comprehensive packages demonstrate your dealership’s commitment to their vehicle’s long-term health, building trust and loyalty.
How Bundles Drive More Hours
Bundling services creates opportunities to sell more labor hours by:
Increasing Service Scope: Customers often choose bundles because they offer more value for their money, leading to larger, more comprehensive jobs.
Reducing Resistance to Add-Ons: Bundles make additional services feel like part of a package deal, reducing objections.
Building Long-Term Relationships: Satisfied customers are more likely to return for future maintenance, leading to ongoing opportunities for additional labour hours.
Examples of Successful Service Bundles
Consider these ideas to inspire your own packages:
Seasonal Maintenance Bundle: Tire changeover, fluid top-offs, and battery check.
Mileage Milestone Package: Oil changes, filter replacements, and brake inspections.
Road Trip Readiness Package: Tire rotation, alignment check, and a full vehicle inspection.
These bundles not only cater to common customer needs but also ensure your technicians spend more time on profitable tasks.
