Bob Ciasulli : Succeeding As An Auto Dealership

I came across a video of an employee meeting. Trust me, that video could be played today and everything that was said is as relevant now as it was then. And it frequently addressed customer pleasure. I know I am always preaching about customer satisfaction and I probably always will. Customer happiness is the credo of all trade businesses, but we can use this credo in our individual lives as well. It goes back to what my grandmother Susie told me and what your parents and grandparents told you “Treat everyone as you would like to be treated yourself”. These truly are words to live by. Let’s appreciate everyone in our lives, our families and loved ones, our friends who help us through the ups and downs of daily life and our customers who make all of our jobs possible. We have heard during our lives that “the family that prays together stays together”. It is a wonderful goal to set for our personal lives in the coming year. Also, it leads me to believe that a good business motto for the New Year should be “the auto group that works collectively is successful collectively”. I think we can only achieve greater success if each and every person in every department in the dealership works collectively harmoniously. I know with your cooperation we can realize all our goals.

Bob Ciasulli : Extending the Life of Your Car

I’m Bob Ciasulli and I own several car dealerships in northern New Jersey. I know how significant buying a car can be for most people. Buying a car usually involves years of car payments, and it is only natural that as a new car owner you will want to protect your investment and extent the life of your car.

My first tip to extend your car’s life involves the proper care giver. Since most people don’t have the time or knowledge to maintain their own vehicles, it makes sense to look for a mechanic you trust. I may be a bit biased, but I do feel that the best place to have work done on a new vehicle (especially one still under warranty) is at the dealership. If a dealership is not an option, look for a reputable mechanic that works on the type of car you own and check his references with his clients and other people you trust.

Once you find that mechanic, the best thing you can do is have your car serviced by him on a routine basis. All car manufacturers have a schedule of recommended service for each vehicle they sell. Follow this schedule.

My second tip is to keep your car nicely tuned and toned by following your car’s maintenance schedule. For instance, make sure you regularly change your oil, tires, brakes, filters, spark plugs and fluids. Regular maintenance to your car can prevent most major wear and tear problems, saving you money. Some other things to do regularly are: rotate tires and keep them properly inflated, and make sure your front end is aligned properly.

You can get the specific manual for your car from your local auto parts dealer, and this manual will have complete maintenance for your car. Sometimes you can even do your own maintenance work, but whether you do it yourself or let your mechanic do the work, make sure you stay on your vehicle’s maintenance schedule.

My third tip is to use common sense. If you hear, see or smell something unusual while driving, get your car checked out. The sooner a mechanic diagnosis and fixes your problem the less money you will ultimately spend to fix your car. Accelerate slowly both to save gas and preserve the life of your car. Use your parking brake to take stress off your automatic transmission, and finally wash your car and keep it neat and clean. If possible park your car in a garage or under some kind of roof. If that is not possible, buy a water repellent cover and use it even on sunny days. Paint on vehicles becomes damaged when it is left out in the sun every day. If you take care of your car, it will last much longer than you ever expected.
