3 ways to transform your garage or auto shop

Own an independent auto repair shop? If so, here are a few ways to transform your garage into a well-oiled machine.

1. Organize your customer information with a CRM, or customer relationship management software. What's a CRM? Think of it like a rolodex that you can access from anywhere, as long as you have a device connected to the internet. With a CRM, you never have to worry about losing a customer's name, number or email again. The reason: it's all saved online and accessible any time, or any where. All you need is a username and password to access it.

2. Build a product catalogue. Cataloguing your products is important to ensure that you've standardized your offerings. Let's say a customer pays X for a repair, while a separate customer pays more than the first customer, and later finds out. This looks bad for business, and may cause customers to distrust your business.

Instead, organize your products into a single, consolidated place with standardized prices to make everyone's lives easier.

3. Look into fast invoicing. Once you've started using your CRM from #1 and built a product catalogue in #2 above, you can easily create invoices in no time. Just add existing customers and products to create an invoice in a matter of seconds. This saves both you and the customer valuable time, freeing you up to work on the projects you choose.
