Maintenance and bg products

[sparkerauto]

First off hello everyone i am new here, My name is steve im from boston ma. This is my first post, I am opening up my shop within the next month or so and im trying to figure out maintenance plans to offer customers. like 15k, 30k ,60k and so on. I know alot of the newer cars theres no fuel filter to change and what not. So how are you guys advertising maintenance plans? Also are you guys using bg products? I am a tech at a ford dealer and we use them i personally love them just not sure how many independent shops use them . Do they charge to rent the machine or just lend you it if you purchase there product? thanks for the info.

Hi Steve and welcome to the forum!

 

We use factory scheduled maintenance found in our shop management software (Mitchell). Also we use BG products and use the lifetime protection plan as a valuable benefit to performing these services. Unfortunately unless you are doing a very high volume of product you will have to purchase the equipment or try to save some money and buy used equipment.
