Mr Robert Winfrey, a guest writer for Web-Est, shared his thoughts on ways to use the estimating process to keep your customers from taking their business elsewhere. “Alot of the time when insurers do not inspect a drivable car they tell the customer to go get three estimates. Well 9 times out of 10 unless that customer is sold on you and your shop, they are going to go with the cheapest of the estimates.” Mr. Winfrey goes on to share various methods that he’s learned for cutting costs while still protecting the shop’s bottom line.
