Are You Leaving Money on the Table by Neglecting Automotive Recalls?

The automotive recall landscape is shifting, and the numbers speak for themselves:

• The automotive recall solutions market is growing by 5% annually.
• The recall notification service industry is projected to hit $1.5 billion by 2025.
• Dealer recall management software adoption is expected to rise by 10% in the next year.

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.

Why Prioritize Recall Repairs?

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:

1. Revenue Growth

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.

2. Customer Engagement

Every recall is a chance to strengthen your relationship with a customer. Proactively reaching out about recalls shows that you care about their safety and vehicle health. This builds trust and positions your dealership as their go-to for all automotive needs.

3. Competitive Advantage Over Independent Shops

Independent repair shops can’t perform recall work. By leveraging recalls, dealerships have a unique opportunity to attract customers who might otherwise opt for an independent shop. 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.

The Bigger Picture: Capturing a Share of $1.5 Billion

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:

• Are you actively identifying and contacting customers with open recalls?
• Do you have the right tools to streamline recall management and communication?
• Are you leveraging recalls to upsell additional services and build customer loyalty?
