In today’s competitive automotive market, customer satisfaction is key to retaining clients and building long-term loyalty. Providing efficient shuttle services as part of your service loaner fleet management can make a significant impact on how customers perceive your dealership. Long wait times, inconvenient schedules, and lack of transportation alternatives can lead to frustration and dissatisfaction.

Managing a service loaner program is essential for providing a seamless customer experience, but without a strong cost recovery strategy, dealerships can lose significant revenue. From unclaimed warranty reimbursements to overlooked transportation expenses, dealerships often leave money on the table.
With Connexion Mobility, dealers gain the tools and insights needed to recover costs effectively, ensuring that every eligible expense—whether from a warranty claim, shuttle ride, ridehail service, or rental reimbursement—is properly documented and processed.

Dealerships have long offered free loaner vehicles as a customer convenience, but this service often comes at a high cost with little financial return. The good news? By transitioning to a paid rental program, dealerships can offer customers more transportation choices while turning their fleet into a profit center.
With Connexion Mobility’s rental management solution, dealerships can provide customers with flexible, affordable rental options while generating consistent revenue—creating a win-win scenario for both customers and the business.

Every day, customers unknowingly leave personal data behind in vehicles after test drives, loaner car use, or trade-ins. Modern vehicles store phone contacts, GPS locations, Bluetooth connections, and even personal app logins, creating potential privacy and security risks.

Mobile service has evolved from a niche OEM-driven initiative into a game-changing dealership advantage. While brands like Tesla and Ford have pioneered mobile service with OEM-backed programs, independent dealerships are now recognizing its profitability, customer convenience, and operational benefits.

Trust is the foundation of any successful dealership-customer relationship. Whether it’s test drives, loaner vehicles, or vehicle rentals, customers expect transparency and security when they interact with a dealership. However, insurance verification gaps can create risks for both dealerships and customers, leading to financial liability, compliance issues, and disputes.

Toll charges on loaner vehicles, rentals, and service fleets can quickly add up, costing dealerships hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year. When customers believe tolls are covered by the dealership—or if toll tracking is unclear—they are more likely to use toll roads freely, leaving the dealership to absorb the costs.

When customers bring their vehicles in for service, they expect a hassle-free experience, including a smooth transportation solution. Traditional loaner cars and shuttles, while valuable, often create delays, limited availability, and frustration—leading to a negative impact on customer satisfaction (CSI) scores.

Providing a shuttle service is an excellent way for dealerships to enhance customer satisfaction, but if not managed properly, it can become an expensive and inefficient operation. Rising fuel costs, excessive vehicle downtime, inefficient routing, and high labor expenses can quickly erode profits.
