The Detail Department Scorecard

Is your detail department being run, or just staffed?

Ten yes-or-no questions. Two minutes. Answer honestly and your score adds up as you go.

  1. Can your sales and service managers go a full day without having to check on detail?
  2. Is there one person in charge of your detail department who answers for it every day?
  3. Does the detail team know each morning which cars come first, without a manager walking back to tell them?
  4. When a detailer calls out, does the work still get covered without you or your managers stepping in?
  5. Does every car get a quality check before it leaves the detail bay?
  6. Do deliveries go out on time, every time?
  7. Do cars go out right the first time, without a salesperson or customer catching something missed and sending the car back?
  8. Does a supervisor from your detail company show up at your store on a regular basis?
  9. When something goes wrong, does it get fixed so it doesn’t keep happening?
  10. Does detail keep up when volume spikes, like month-end or a big sales weekend?

One less department to worry about.

Start with a sit-down. Tell us what’s not working and what your volume looks like. We’ll look at the bay and tell you straight how we’d run it.
