The Problem

Before Advanced Service, our service operation relied heavily on paper processes that were time-consuming and error-prone.
Technicians had to handwrite recommendations on the back of repair orders, walk them to parts for pricing, and then physically get that information back to advisors, sometimes taking them out of their bays for 20 minutes or more per RO. Advisors then had to manually calculate labor and parts, call guests to explain recommendations verbally, and hope everything was documented correctly.
Tracking declined work depended entirely on whether a previous advisor added notes to the RO, and records were stored in floor-to-ceiling paper files that required constant purging. The process created delays, pulled technicians away from turning wrenches, introduced frequent pricing and documentation errors, and made it difficult to deliver efficient service or consistent communication to guests.

“Our old, manual process would take techs out of their bays for 20 minutes or more per RO. Now, with Advanced Service, everything is digital.”

Solutions Used


The Solution

After implementing Advanced Service, our service department moved away from a fragmented, paper-based process to a fully integrated, digital workflow that supports both our staff and our guests.
Technicians can now remain in their bays while building recommendations electronically, attaching photos and videos, and sending estimates directly to advisors, without walking repair orders between departments. Advisors receive real-time alerts, parts pricing is returned quickly and accurately, and recommendations are sent to guests through text with eApproval, allowing them to make informed decisions without delays or missed phone calls.
Declined and pending services are automatically documented and easy to reference at future visits, making follow-up conversations seamless and consistent. The addition of technician videos has significantly increased transparency and trust, giving guests the opportunity to see issues on their own vehicles and hear directly from the technician.
Overall, Advanced Service has dramatically minimized errors, eliminated paper storage challenges, and allowed our team to stay focused on productivity and guest care. The result is a smoother, more efficient operation that aligns with modern expectations and delivers a higher level of service experience.
