Service Managers and Service Advisors — If you're dealing with angry customers, escalations, or CSI issues, the problem usually isn't the customer. It's the system behind the interaction.
In this episode of Service Drive Revolution #343, the conversation breaks down why most "difficult customers" in Fixed Ops are created by poor communication, unclear expectations, and weak leadership systems — and how service managers can fix it.
This episode covers:
✅ Why arguing with customers makes situations worse
✅ How poor communication creates unnecessary conflict
✅ The leadership skill of absorbing tension and defusing emotion
✅ How to trace customer complaints back to process failures
✅ Why intention matters more than being "right"
✅ How to turn upset customers into long-term loyal customers
If you're a service manager, service advisor, or Fixed Ops leader struggling with:
- CSI problems
- Customer escalations
- Negative reviews
- Advisor burnout
- Constant complaints
👉 This episode will change how you approach customer conflict in the service drive. #ServiceManager #FixedOps #DealershipService
