Building customer loyalty at any business is challenging. Keeping customers returning to an automotive repair shop is the most daunting task for owners. If a shop can crack this code, they will capture current and future repair and maintenance opportunities. The only built-in opportunity for every vehicle to increase customer loyalty is engine oil and functional fluid services.
In this hour-long webinar, our experts will discuss how they’ve built an oil change and vehicle maintenance program that keeps customers coming back and helps maintain healthy profit margins.
Have you ever noticed many European cars and SUVs no longer have coolant replacement intervals listed in the service information? This could be due to cooling systems requiring service or component replacement prior to that interval. It could be hoses, plastic couplings or water pumps. Your shop has options. Some replacement parts can be better than the original parts. These parts can create a win/win situation for your shop and customers when dealing with today’s vehicle’s complexity and longevity.
These solutions can simplify a repair and protect against future failures. In a 45-minute webinar sponsored by CRP Automotive, the company that brings you Rein Automotive, we will cover six common cooling system repairs on BMW, Audi and VW vehicles. These repair solutions will cover more than six-million vehicles on the road today.

When a wheel bearing makes noise on a late-model Ford Escape, Toyota Camry or VW Golf, do you wish you could ignore the noise?

A modern engine cooling system does more than cool the engine. It optimizes the temperature inside the combustion chamber. The cooling system works hand-in-hand with the engine management system to anticipate sudden heat loads or regulate coolant flow during a cold start. At the heart of the system is the water pump driven by a belt, chain or even electricity.
In this free 45-minute webinar, our experts will cover what you need to know when diagnosing and replacing a conventional or electric auxiliary water pump.
