MPi, a Leader in Vehicle Inspection Tools Establishes Regional Dealer Advisory and Fixed Operations Advisory Councils


mpi

LAS VEGAS--Aug. 22, 2011 -- MPi, the leading provider of vehicle inspection tools, processes, and consulting for auto dealer service departments, announced today the establishment of Regional Dealer Advisory and Fixed Operations Advisory Councils to help auto dealerships achieve better performance and increased revenue from their fixed operations. The councils will be divided by regions: Eastern, Midwest and Western; each will have its own separate dealer advisory and separate fixed operations advisory council to address the unique marketing challenges and perspectives on a regional level.

"The Regional Advisory Council program makes it possible for our customers to influence the future of our products. It brings respected MPi EDGE users together to provide product feedback and suggestions. It also affords them the opportunity to share valuable industry experience and knowledge with each other about solutions that have brought them success," commented Les Silver, MPi Chairman/CEO. "The response has been wonderful and has proven the strong demand for such a program; to date we have 14 dealers and 33 Fixed Ops Directors signed up."

Each council member will attend quarterly or semi-annual meetings via MPi's Virtual Meeting Room and will be involved as follows:

  • Provide MPi with feedback to enhance EDGE and its other services
  • Provide MPi with immediate feedback on questions, comments or concerns
  • Provide insight into the future needs of the member's dealership and OEM
  • Test new products and enhancements
  • Support the growth of MPi within the regional market

Any dealer or fixed operations director wishing to be part of a regional council should call: 888.503.8040.

MPi's primary focus is providing auto dealerships the necessary tools, processes and training to successfully institute a comprehensive, World Class Inspection Program (WCI) in service departments across North America. Since 2003, MPi's proven results driven solution has been helping over 1,000 dealerships achieve a 4 or 5 to 1 return on investment by increasing the sale of legitimately needed service work.

The EDGE program focuses on the management of a "customer friendly" vehicle inspection process which, when performed correctly, produces better results. MPi's complete and all-inclusive vehicle inspection program includes its state-of-the-art software solution, EDGE; customized customer friendly communication tools (Recommended Action Plan and Know Your Vehicle Reports); detailed management reporting and analysis tools; ongoing consulting and training services; and process and performance metrics.

EDGE pricing is based on dealership size and number of users. A dealership can receive a no-cost price quote and business case by contacting MPI at (888) 335-5736, or visit MPi's website at: MPi Edge .
