MCS Service Driver Helps Ensure BAR Compliance in California

BAKERSFIELD, Calif.--Management Consulting Services, Inc. (MCS), provider of dealership support services in the areas of: service management, service operations, service department sales, and a Gary Simmons company, announces their product MCS Service Driver™ can help ensure Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) compliance for California dealers through the use of manufacturer recommended service menus.

A revolutionary web-based program, Service Driver provides dealership customers with vehicle manufacturer recommended services based on vehicle model, year, and current mileage, along with service pricing based on labor charges and part pricing. With dealerships experiencing increasing scrutiny of service department compliance from governmental agencies, due to the fact that dealership service menus produced by outside vendors may co-mingle manufacturer recommended services with related product sales, Service Driver is poised to become the fail safe way to ensure complete and constant BAR compliance.

“Dealerships, especially those in California, are experiencing an ever increasing number of compliance investigations by governmental agencies,” says Gary Simmons, founder of MCS. “Service Driver is one easy way to ensure customers are receiving accurate information when they bring their vehicle in for service.”

While ensuring dealer compliance in the service department, Service Driver also has the potential to increase customer loyalty, dealership profits, and CSI scores. With Service Driver, dealerships can prove their service department compliancy to first-time customers who then have the potential to become loyal lifetime customers, positively affecting the dealership’s bottom-line. In addition, because Service Driver lets customers know exactly what services are to be performed and how much they will cost when they enter the dealership, the customer is more likely to leave satisfied, increasing CSI scores.
