Boost Service Advisor Productivity with Connexion Mobility’s Uber for Business Integration

How Connexion Mobility’s Uber for Business Integration Improves Service Advisor Productivity

Service advisors are the backbone of a dealership’s service department, responsible for managing customer interactions, upselling services, and ensuring a smooth repair process. However, handling courtesy transportation logistics—managing loaners, scheduling shuttles, and coordinating rides—can consume valuable time that could be better spent assisting customers and driving revenue.

By integrating Uber for Business with Connexion Mobility, dealerships can automate transportation requests, eliminate manual scheduling, and streamline cost tracking, allowing service advisors to focus on what truly matters: providing exceptional customer service.

The Service Advisor Productivity Problem

Traditional courtesy transportation programs—whether through loaners, shuttles, or ride coordination—often create operational inefficiencies:

  1. Time-Consuming Loaner & Shuttle Management

🔹 Service advisors spend significant time managing loaner vehicle assignments, checking availability, handling fuel/mileage policies, and processing vehicle returns.
🔹 Shuttle schedules are rigid and require manual coordination, leading to delays and frustrated customers.
🔹 Advisors must track, schedule, and sometimes even arrange drivers, pulling them away from core service tasks.

  1. Manual Ridehail Coordination & Expense Tracking

🔹 Booking Uber for Business rides manually requires advisors to log in, enter ride details, and send confirmations to customers.
🔹 Advisors must manually record ride costs, track eligibility for warranty reimbursement, and report transportation expenses—leading to potential errors and lost cost recovery.
🔹 Without a centralized system, double entry in the DMS slows down workflow and creates administrative headaches.

  1. Reduced Focus on High-Value Service Tasks

🔹 Instead of helping customers with repair updates, selling additional services, or ensuring fast vehicle turnaround, advisors are busy managing transportation logistics.
🔹 Time spent scheduling rides and tracking costs reduces efficiency, causing longer wait times for customers and lower CSI scores.
