DALLAS, TX (June 18, 2019) EFG Companies, the innovator behind the award-winning Hyundai Assurance program, today announced the launch of the company\u2019s new pre-paid Maintenance Value Program (MVP), designed to boost customer retention with a fully-customizable program to fit individual dealership needs.

According to the National Association of Automotive Dealers, 83 percent of customers who perform maintenance with the selling dealer will return to purchase another vehicle. However, for decades dealers have struggled on the customer retention front.  The Cox Automotive 2018 Service Industry Study states that dealerships only represent 33% of the share of consumer service visits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe originally developed MVP to provide a solution for the customer retention puzzle,\u201d said John Pappanastos, President & CEO, EFG Companies. \u201cAs customer and vehicular needs have changed, we\u2019ve morphed MVP to be even more compelling with customizable options. Dealers utilizing MVP now have a better opportunity to turn one-time only vehicle purchase events into an ongoing relationship through the service drive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sample customizable elements:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Quantity and type of services\n
      \n
    • Oil & Filter<\/li>\n
    • Tire Rotation<\/li>\n
    • Engine Air Filter<\/li>\n
    • Cabin Air Filter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Reimbursement Increments<\/li>\n
    • Terms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      According to the 2018 Cox study, three in five visits to the dealership included an oil change, and many of the oil change visits also included an additional service. MVP is designed to help increase visits like oil changes and tire rotations, which help dealership service bays drive profitability, improve customer service, and foster repeat business.<\/p>\n

      With MVP, dealers can dramatically shorten service drive time, simplify record keeping, and speed claims submissions.  Now, dealers have one access point to all EFG digital business assets, including MVP. A service manager can login to the EFG DRIVE<\/em><\/strong> portal, enter the vehicle identification number, quickly access contract status, and submit claims for automatic approval. The program also puts the dealership in control of the life of the vehicle, with a one-screen view of a customer\u2019s complete vehicle history.<\/p>\n

      With EFG\u2019s industry award-winning DRIVE<\/em><\/strong> system, the company has efficiently processed close to 3.5 million transactions, and dealerships typically receive claim payment within one hour. Proof of leadership is reflected in DRIVE\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> two Stevie\u00ae<\/sup> Awards for Sales and Customer Service, including a Gold award in 2019, competing against global Fortune 500 companies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
