BOUCHERVILLE, Quebec – Uni-Select Inc. has unveiled its new banner strategy for Canadian repair shops. According to Uni-Select, this new strategy lets shops choose the banner under which they want to operate (Auto-Select, Uni-Pro or SelectAutoXpert (SAX)) and supports their growth with a flexible and diverse lineup of services specifically adapted to each shop’s particular needs. Joining one of these programs provides shops with more visibility, the support of a network in promoting their services and helps increase customer loyalty.
The Uni-Pro program is a build-your-own program that offers an optional brand image and an À la carte menu of options, with many warranties for the shops and their customers. Installers can also take advantage of training programs, diagnostic tools and business management coaching. The program also gives access to Uni-SmartLink, a telematics system that sends out personalized reminders and alerts as well as educational tips on preventive maintenance. This solution includes reminders for the regular scheduled maintenance recommended by a vehicle’s manufacturer, a maintenance history, detailed notices when the engine warning light turns on, a stolen vehicle locator and a battery monitor. The data collected can help users save on fuel and make their vehicles more reliable.
The Auto-Select banner is a turnkey program for installers looking for a complete lineup in a premium brand. This concept includes all of the high-end options most commonly requested by progressive shops, with a strong brand image and communication plan.
Repair shops looking for an affordable, easy-to-use solution with competitive discounts can opt for the SAX program.
“We are proud to provide our repair shop professionals with solutions to help them grow. We are happy knowing that we can help them manage their business and find success. Our lineup of customized tools and solutions adapted to the different needs of each shop once again speaks to our commitment to providing innovative programs to help them run their business more effectively,” said Gary O’Connor, president and chief operating officer, Automotive Canada, at Uni-Select.
