Step-By-Step Auto Repair Process from Auto Collision Solutions

Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes at an auto repair shop? Here are the detailed steps from Auto Collision Solutions outlining the process after your car accident leaves your car in disrepair:

Step 1:  In the Estimate Process area, the vehicle is inspected and relevant data is entered into estimate computer systems. This data is compiled into an estimate that determines the cost of repairs. However, often there is hidden damage that cannot be seen until after the vehicle is disassembled.

Step 2: Once the estimate is completed, the insurance company will review the estimate. There may be some negotiations on the price and procedures required to repair the vehicle. The insurance company will determine if the vehicle is even repairable. Once this process is completed, the vehicle begins the actual repair process.

Step 3:  In Disassembly, hidden damage is often found, and inner structure repairs are determined. Many times this will require scheduling insurance re-inspection and ordering additional parts.

Step 4:  The required parts for your vehicle are ordered, and availability is checked. If a part needs to be special ordered, the order will be placed as soon as possible. Although many parts may arrive very quickly, the repair process can not begin until the shop receives all of the structural parts

Step 5:  In the Structure Repair area, the unitized body is returned back to the factory specification. A sophisticated measuring system is used to monitor all phases in this area. A computer based measurement system is used to analyze the frame of your vehicle. This system assures an accurate repair.

The automotive repair and body shop industries are expanding rapidly, adding more repair bays to handle increased demand. This has simultaneously increased demand for automotive lifts, because it is less costly to make minor repairs, rather than start from scratch with a brand new car. Additionally, people are more conscious of maintenance, using less costly quick-lube service locations, which make good use of automotive lifts, rather than going to a more expensive dealership service centers. MAHA automotive lifts are used by car rental agencies to repair and service their vehicles, and automotive hobby enthusiasts, particularly those who are sticklers about their car’s interior parts, as well as its exterior appearance.

Automotive Dms Solutions The Good, Bad And The Ugly!

July 28th, 2010

Well let’s begin with the good since it is the first on the list, there are many CRM solution vendors out there. One good feature that every one seems to share is the incoming 1-800 phone tracking capabilities, any respectable CRM solution will offer this feature of recorded phone call from their targeted 1-800 numbers for advertising tracking purposes. The CRM solution providers often are partnered with a voice over IP solution provider to offer their clients this service. Voice over IP call tracking got to be one of the biggest improvements found in today’s CRM or DMS systems for dealers. Another good feature is sales reporting and performance tracking, almost all of the CRM solution vendors offers some sort of way to track their advertising spending, or sales performance. This can go as far as the best selling model for the month, even export to Excel file format. The last good feature of today’s CRM we are going to discuss here is the ability to manage, transfer lead from sales person to sales person. With different security access levels, a manager can access sales person’s lead and manage and transfer them at his will. This level of sophistication is light years ahead of the older systems.

Functionality versus simplicity in today’s automotive CRM solutions

July 1st, 2010

We all have heard of the saying “functionality over design”, but how can this phrase apply in today’s automotive CRM industry? After been in the Canadian automotive industry for the past 7 years, I have encountered many CRM solutions from the software vendors. There are a wide range of selections of software available in the Canadian market, but very few are catered towards the smaller dealers. Many CRM solution vendors are in a rat race to become increasingly more complex, this unnecessary growth in complexity usually forces the end user to make mistakes rather than profit. A poorly designed CRM solution often enforces many artificial business rules that are not a reflection of the real business world.

No two automotive dealerships are the same, hence no two business rules can apply exactly the same way. It is better to build a CRM offering the end users the option to manage the inventory and customer quote rather than trying to outsmart a human. Keep in mind a CRM system should be there to help the end user to run their business more efficient rather than forcing the end user for product training. The key concept when it comes to a successful CRM solution is the business models itself, as long as the business model is accurate, the vendors should leave as much options open as possible. A CRM solution that can be used to reflect the true relationship database model will be the most successful. Linear business process is a dangerous design and can cause a lot of headaches for the end user down the road.

Automotive & Semi-conductor industries are facing an extremely challenging business environment today with increase in product heterogeneousness, higher dependence on outsourcing, and a growing need to collaborate with an unending list of business partners. Moreover, with the automotive electronics market exploding and semiconductor consumption booming worldwide, the tremendous opportunity for semiconductor companies brings with it the increasing pressure to keep pace with the shortening development cycles and the need for newer and more innovative products.
