Logistics for Mechanics & Body Shops

If you’re a mechanic or run a body shop, solving your shipping problems can get frustrating. If a shipper disappoints you and delays, it’s on you to talk to the customer about why. It’s on you to handle the customer’s frustration, and that frustration’s legitimate because you feel it, too. You can’t pin a business so dependent on timing on a shipping company that can’t be relied upon. You need more experienced logistics for mechanics.

 

Handling More than Just Shipping

Logistics is more than just shipping. Shipping is simply the process of getting items from Location A to Location B. Logistics is about how to meet schedules, consolidate certain shipments to save you money, and establish supply lines that keep you equipped and stocked without fail. Logistics isn’t about solving one shipping problem now, it’s about establishing a reliable way of doing things that prevents shipping problems in the future.

Reliability & the Local Mechanic

This is especially crucial for independent and local mechanics, who are relied upon by their community because of their service and reliability. A dealership’s garage can have a rough patch and recover because they have a base of business that will always come in. If you have a patch where you can’t come through for your customers, that can result in your business losing those customers for good. There’s not a whole lot of room for error and becoming more efficient in your logistics is the best way to cut down on that risk.
