The automotive service industry is at a crossroads. Consumers are being cautious with their money; yet, many still feel uncertain about what their cars really need. There is a lack of transparency in repair services, and little is known about the cost and process involved.
In this episode of the Analytics Insight Podcast, host Priya Dialani speaks with Vikas Garg, CPO and Co-founder of Kapture CX, about how the sector is changing.
The conversation focuses on improving the customer experience, making service operations more efficient, and bringing greater transparency to a fragmented ecosystem. Here are the excerpts from the interview:
Most people who own cars walk into a repair shop without any idea of the problem, the cost involved, or the work needed. The bigger challenge is bridging the information gap and making the experience more streamlined and predictable.
Most repairs are done in independent garages. This is true for most cars that are out of warranty. However, they remain disorganised in their systems and communication. This results in inconsistent service despite constant demand.
Workshops are becoming more organised with better streamlining in their operations. Customers' concerns are being noted clearly, the process for repairing the vehicle is being explained clearly, and updates are being provided regularly.
Repair shops are mostly in isolation. Connected platforms bring all customers, shops, and partners together on a single platform, making it easy to coordinate. Estimating can also be done before the service process.
The process becomes clearer with better visibility. The system helps guide inspections and workflow, yet technicians still make decisions, striking a balance between structure and flexibility.
