Need Help Badly

[ssauto]

If you read the new members area then you saw I am a new auto reapir shop owner. Our company had a great August, decent September, October....not so good. I have been running oil change $18.95 and disc brake $99.00 specials in the local paper. I need new ways to build customers that is fairly quickly. I am thinking of opening late on Tuesdays and Thursdays til atleast 7 pm. Also have a grand opening on a Friday or a Saturday, followed by a Care Care Clinic type of inspection.

Any ideas or bad sides to these?

Thats dead on. I actually had an oil change, tire rotation and 50 point inspection coupon in the paper for the first 2 months that had alot more upsells per car/volume then what is being generated now.

Also, I am trying to gain some more commerical accounts and they seem hard to come by. Most are serviced by the local competition. I am working on offering a higher level of service and quicker turnaround time to pursuade them to try us.
