Aftersales Success Made Simple: Grow Your Dealership

Aftersales success made simple was a clear takeaway at the recent ADD25 event in Verona, where industry leaders emphasized the critical role aftersales plays in dealership profitability and customer loyalty. The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) is significantly reshaping the automotive industry, challenging dealerships to rethink their aftersales strategies to remain competitive and profitable.

Across Europe, dealerships are noticing a decline in traditional service visits due to increased EV adoption. While EVs generally require less regular maintenance, EV customers tend to be more loyal to dealership services, creating new opportunities to cultivate lasting customer relationships. Dealerships that can adapt quickly by offering targeted and personalized aftersales services will be well-positioned for sustained growth.

Moreover, the aging vehicle fleet across Europe, particularly noticeable in Italy and the Netherlands, presents additional opportunities. As vehicles age, the demand for essential aftersales services such as collision repair, tire services, and parts distribution significantly grows. Dealerships that strategically position themselves in these areas can enhance profitability even as traditional sales volumes fluctuate.

To truly capitalize on these emerging opportunities, dealerships must embrace digital solutions, leverage predictive maintenance technologies, and prioritize personalized customer interactions. Connected vehicle technologies allow dealerships to anticipate customer needs and proactively offer services, thereby enhancing customer experience and loyalty.
