Repair Shop Advice

Is Your Repair Shop Prepared for the Future?


August 4, 2015

Technology moves so fast that it seems like every time you turn around, the “next big thing” has already been replaced by something better. Google is a great example of a company pushing the envelope – they’ve recently created their own self-driving vehicles division. They’re already on their second major prototype, and if they’re successful, the roads could be safer and the air could be cleaner.

As a shop owner you might be reading this and laughing. But technological innovations can move so quickly you don’t even realize they’re becoming the new norm. One example – in 2008, only 1 in 3 new cars had a backup camera.  In 2013 it was 78 percent, and by 2018, it’s a mandatory feature.  And just like it’s essential to be equipped to handle new technology in cars, repair shops need to be meeting customer’s expectations when it comes to communication technology.
