What’s Treading, Ep. 9: Communicating with Customers [Audio]

We talk with our Top Shops about how they handle communicating with customers, setting appointments and ways they make the customer experience positive and memorable at their shops.

Last October, we hosted our annual Top Shop Event in Nashville, Tennessee, where our 2019 Top Shop winner, finalists, as well as past winners and finalists, came together to share industry best practices, what’s working in their business, what’s not and what they see as the future of our industry.

In this episode of What’s Treading, we talk with our Top Shops about how they handle communicating with customers, setting appointments and ways they make the customer experience positive and memorable at their shops.

Treads app aims to steer drivers to tire dealers using AI

In only the past year or so, AI has opened a Pandora's box of opportunities to better care for customers and their vehicles – so much so that today's consumer has unlocked a new level of knowledge surrounding all aspects of maintenance.

Here's an example: A driver thinks it might be time for a new set of tires since their current set is looking a bit on the worn side. He doesn't own a tread depth gauge and wouldn't know what to do with one anyway. However, he does have an app on his smartphone that uses machine learning technology to analyze treadwear and creates an AI-generated recommendation on whether that tire needs to be repaired or replaced. Going a step further, though, the app communicates with the driver's tire dealer to indicate he'll be coming in for a new set of tires.
