Stop Frustrating Customers: How a Lot Management Solution Improves Their Experience
How Poor Lot Management Frustrates Customers—And How to Fix It
Nothing frustrates customers more than long wait times, misplaced vehicles, and disorganized dealership operations. Whether they’re coming in for a test drive, picking up a service loaner, or waiting for their car after service, delays and confusion ruin their experience—and may even cost the dealership a sale.
With Connexion Mobility’s Lot Management Solution, dealerships can eliminate these frustrations by quickly locating vehicles, optimizing test drive experiences, and ensuring smooth service operations.
The Biggest Customer Frustrations with Poor Lot Management
- Waiting Too Long for a Test Drive
- Customers arrive excited to test drive a vehicle, but instead of getting behind the wheel, they’re stuck waiting while the sales team searches for the car.
- Vehicles are misplaced or parked in hard-to-find areas, forcing customers to wait even longer.
- Some customers get tired of waiting and leave, costing the dealership a potential sale.
💡 How Connexion Mobility Fixes It:
✔ Instant vehicle location tracking ensures sales teams can find any test drive vehicle immediately.
✔ Customers get a fast, seamless experience, increasing the likelihood of purchase.
- Frustration Over Loaner Car Delays
- A customer drops off their car for service and expects a loaner to be ready, but instead, they wait while the dealership searches for an available vehicle.
- If a previous customer returned a loaner late, the dealership might not have one available, leaving customers stranded.
- Customers with tight schedules get frustrated, leading to negative CSI scores and lost future business.
💡 How Connexion Mobility Fixes It:
✔ Real-time tracking of available loaners ensures fast vehicle assignment.
✔ Automated loaner return alerts prevent delays by ensuring vehicles are ready on time.
- Long Wait Times for Service Pickup
- A customer finishes their service appointment and is ready to leave—but their vehicle can’t be found.
- Service advisors or porters spend 10-15 minutes searching for the car, leading to frustration and complaints.
- A single delayed pickup creates a backlog in service operations, frustrating multiple customers.
💡 How Connexion Mobility Fixes It:
✔ Pinpoint vehicle location tracking ensures service vehicles can be retrieved immediately.
✔ Customers spend less time waiting and more time enjoying their serviced vehicle.
- Poor Communication About Vehicle Location
- Customers call to ask if their test drive vehicle, loaner, or service car is ready, but dealership staff aren’t sure where it is.
- Inconsistent updates lead to miscommunication and customer complaints.
- If a vehicle was mistakenly parked in the wrong area, customers wait longer for service advisors to locate it.
💡 How Connexion Mobility Fixes It:
✔ Instant vehicle location updates allow staff to provide accurate information to customers.
✔ Faster vehicle retrieval means customers always get the service they expect.
