Customer Communication

Five ways to perfect your customer updates.

Customer communication is the #1 driver of service satisfaction scores. Stop relying on sticky notes and memory—automate the follow-up that drives loyalty.

01

Automated Reminders

Smart notifications via SMS, email, or desktop alerts at the perfect moment—based on service type and customer preferences.

02

CSI Score Booster

Customers who receive timely updates are 3x less likely to leave negative reviews—even when repairs take longer.

03

Intelligent Escalation

When promised repairs hit delays, managers get instant alerts. Critical situations get escalated before they explode.

04

DMS Integration

Works alongside CDK, Reynolds, DealerTrack, and other major platforms. No workflow disruption or training nightmare.

05

Lifetime Value Builder

Consistent communication builds trust. Customers are 2.4x more likely to approve additional repairs and 67% more likely to return.

06

Complete Audit Trail

Every interaction documented with timestamps. When manufacturer surveys arrive, you have proof of every update.

Smart Reminders

Automated reminders that actually work.

Stop relying on sticky notes and memory. Spindle tracks every vehicle's service progress in real-time and automatically reminds advisors exactly when each customer needs an update.

  • Notifications consider service type, customer preferences, and shop workload
  • Advisors see prioritized queues with all relevant info at their fingertips
  • No more 4pm panic when customers call asking about their cars

Our system learns your shop's actual service times (not book times) and triggers proactive updates before customers get anxious.

Prevent Disasters

Intelligent escalation before problems explode.

Some situations can't wait for the next scheduled update. Spindle's AI monitors service patterns and automatically escalates critical situations before they turn into customer complaints.

Delay Detection

When a promised 2-hour repair hits the 3-hour mark, managers get instant alerts.

Missed Call Escalation

When a customer's third status call gets missed, the system escalates to ensure contact.

VIP Priority

VIP customers get more frequent updates. First-time customers receive extra attention.
