Everything has gotten faster these days. From fast food to high speed Internet access, faster is the way to go.
Things are no different for fleets and owner/operators. When their trucks need to be serviced, they want them in and out of your shop as quickly as possible. And when it comes to routine maintenance-like oil and filter changes-speed is of the utmost importance.
If you have not already set up a separate quick lube center or designated bays in your shop exclusively to quick lube services you are missing a great opportunity not only to make money but also to take better care of your customers.
At first glance, providing quick lube services may seem simple. However, in reality it is complicated.
Designing and laying out the facility, finding the proper people to staff it and seeing that they are trained properly all while being able to provide high volume, high quality work can be a challenging task.
But if you pay attention to these things your quick lube service can be profitable and can help bring additional work into your service department.
Once you have decided that you want to offer quick lube services, you need to make sure you invest in the proper equipment. Experts recommend that your quick lube bay be equipped with a pit so the technicians can see more of the truck.
