Recover Shuttle Service Costs Effectively with Connexion Mobility
How Dealerships Can Recover Costs Effectively When Using Shuttles
A dealership shuttle service is a valuable customer offering, but if not properly managed, it can become a costly operation. Many dealerships fail to track expenses effectively, missing opportunities to recover costs from warranty reimbursements, transportation fees, and alternative ride solutions.
With Connexion Mobility, dealerships can track shuttle expenses, automate cost recovery, and optimize their fleet management—ensuring their transportation services remain profitable and efficient.
Where Dealerships Lose Money in Shuttle Operations
Without a structured fleet management approach, dealerships often experience unnecessary expenses in these areas:
- Missed Warranty Reimbursements
🔹 Many OEMs offer reimbursement for shuttle services provided to customers with warranty-covered repairs.
🔹 Lack of tracking and documentation leads to missed claims and lost revenue.
- Untracked Fuel & Operational Costs
🔹 Without proper monitoring, shuttle fuel costs can escalate due to inefficient routing and unnecessary trips.
🔹 Excessive idle time and unauthorized use lead to wasted expenses.
- Inefficient Use of Shuttles
🔹 Running more shuttles than necessary increases operational costs.
🔹 Some vehicles remain underutilized, while others are overworked, causing uneven wear and higher maintenance expenses.
- Failure to Charge for Additional Services
🔹 Some customers may require premium transportation options such as ridehail (Uber/Lyft) or rental cars.
🔹 Without proper tracking, dealerships fail to pass these costs to the manufacturer or customer, absorbing unnecessary expenses.
