The automotive recall landscape is shifting, and the numbers speak for themselves:
If you’re a dealership owner or manager, these trends represent more than just statistics—they’re a wake-up call. Recalls aren’t just a legal obligation; they’re a massive business opportunity.
Ignoring recalls means leaving money and customer trust on the table. Here's why dealerships should be laser-focused on bringing recall repairs into their service departments:
Recall repairs are fully covered by manufacturers, guaranteeing a steady revenue stream for dealerships. Beyond the initial repair, recall appointments often uncover additional customer-pay services. For instance, during a recall visit, a technician might identify worn brakes or overdue maintenance, creating opportunities to upsell necessary repairs.

Once those customers are in your service lane, you have the chance to demonstrate superior service and value, turning one-time recall visits into long-term relationships.
With the recall notification service industry projected to reach $1.5 billion by 2025, the question isn’t whether you can benefit—it’s how you’re planning to seize your share of the pie. Consider this:
