Service Level Assessments
MotorGuide continues to make changes to improve the support we provide directly to its existing service center network. In addition, we continue to work cooperatively with our centers to help them improve their organizations and to experience enhanced-service profitability. Once signed as a service center you can expect this same attention to detail.
This process begins with assessments of the existing service operation at each service center. This process will be the same for a new center sign-on as well. Our Technical Account Managers (TAM) use a database template called a Service Center Development Plan (SCDP) as a checklist when performing the assessment.
Based on the assessment, MotorGuide assigns a “category level” for each service center. The starting level is called “MotorGuide Certified Service” and “MotorGuide Premier Service” as the highest tier.
SERVICE LEVEL RATINGS
All dealers will have a service level based on MotorGuide's Service Center Development Plan (SCDP). As stated previous the levels are “MotorGuide Certified Service,” and “MotorGuide Premier Service.”
