You're open so spread it on social media. Shops are open and essential. Promote your hours -- share your story -- tout your services.
2. Give the gift of repairs
Offer discounted gift cards or gift certificates now -- you'll get immediate cash flow and customers can come in when they're comfortable. Tip: Add $10 to a $50 gift card as a small investment but big token of appreciation.
3. Increase your no contact zones
Spare keys only -- and only in the store's key drop. Customers can pick up locked vehicles from the parking lot.
Full precautions for techs -- gloves, masks, limited time touching when repairs are complete.
Use videos -- like FaceTime or Zoom -- and communicating with customers is almost like they're in the shop. Add to repair photos for a lifelike experience.
Accept payments exclusively online or over the phone.
Bonus: Promote steam cleaning and disinfecting of all vehicles at the end of service.
