Lighthouse 360


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

 

I was wondering if anyone on here knows anything about / has Lighthouse 360. From what I can gather, It's basically a CRM program combined with Bolt-On's Pro Pack. (if someone from Bolt-On would chime in, I'm sure they would have more information.)

 

I have Mitchell CRM and Bolt On Products, but what they offer is something of a Mitchell CRM competitor program bundled with Bolt On's pro pack. I was just wondering if anyone here had heard of or used their services and has maybe some more information. Thank you!

I understand it is expensive, however I'm paying for Mitchell CRM and Bolt On. If I use Lighthouse I will save about $150 / month, so for me it's definitely worthwhile.

The lady that called us gave us a quote of over $2,000 per month if I Remer correctly. I'm just not big enough to support that if it did increase aro's by $100 each.

That's definitely not what they quoted for me, because I sure can't do $2,000 / month. Just for their sake I don't want to quote prices, but it was definitely much much cheaper than that. I'm a small shop as well, but this is definitely affordable for me.

Hey guys,

 

You’re correct; Lighthouse 360 is a CRM program provider. They’re also a licensed reseller of some of our products, and do offer packages containing both their CRM and our solutions.

 

I’m not sure how they came up with a $2,000 a month quote. The packages they offer with our products are much less than that.

 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

If anyone else is looking for a "Customer Communications Solution" to augment your shop, I highly recommend taking a look at our product, Glovebox.

 

Glovebox enables real-time messaging and notifications between you and your customer. It's effortlessly simple and intuitive, not to mention cost-effective.

 

The beauty of Glovebox for your shop is that you can send/receive messages from any desktop or from any iOS phone, from anywhere - they are all instantaneously synced. When a customer sends/responds to a message, you are immediately notified and may view/reply from any iOS phone or computer of your choosing.

 

The beauty of Glovebox for your customer is two-fold.

1) Your customers can now use a modern, preferred channel for communicating with their shop. Messaging/Texting isn't going away anytime soon.

2) Glovebox preserves the conversation for future reference in a single, accessible location. This raises the probability of you keeping that customer for the long-haul.

 

Let me know if you have any questions or how else we can help.

      I recently spoke with a friend of mine who owns a large general repair shop in the Midwest. His father founded the business in 1975. He was telling me that although he’s busy, he’s also very frustrated. When I probed him more about his frustrations, he said that it’s hard to find qualified technicians. My friend employs four technicians and is looking to hire two more. I then asked him, “How long does a technician last working for you.” He looked puzzled and replied, “I never really thought about that, but I can tell that except for one tech, most technicians don’t last working for me longer than a few years.”
      Judging from personal experience as a shop owner and from what I know about the auto repair industry, I can tell you that other than a few exceptions, the turnover rate for technicians in our industry is too high. This makes me think, do we have a technician shortage or a retention problem? Have we done the best we can over the decades to provide great pay plans, benefits packages, great work environments, and the right culture to ensure that the techs we have stay with us?
      Finding and hiring qualified automotive technicians is not a new phenomenon. This problem has been around for as long as I can remember. While we do need to attract people to our industry and provide the necessary training and mentorship, we also need to focus on retention. Having a revolving door and needing to hire techs every few years or so costs your company money. Big money! And that revolving door may be a sign of an even bigger issue: poor leadership, and poor employee management skills.
      Here’s one more thing to consider, for the most part, technicians don’t leave one job to start a new career, they leave one shop as a technician to become a technician at another shop. The reasons why they leave can be debated, but there is one fact that we cannot deny, people don’t quit the company they work for, they usually leave because of the boss or manager they work for.
      Put yourselves in the shoes of your employees. Do you have a workplace that communicates, “We appreciate you and want you to stay!”
