Has anyone else found this to be a particularly slow starter season? We are at 50-70% below where we should be this time of year!...weather hasn't helped...

This month we seem to be a little slower but we are up over last year. Last month, October we were way up over the previous years.

 

About normal for me with 4 a week.

 

for us in t bay we are swamped and working o.t to make more space for extra jobs. doing about 5-6 starters a day with 3 guys, then some car audio in between.

 

we do about 4-5 starters or combos a day with HU installs mixed in.

Most of the starters are full load, 2-way, combos with door locks, starter kill, anti-grind.

I really wish the dealership and their salespeople would educate their clients about the on-board security systems most new vehicles come with.

It's tiresome trying to explain that the $149 installed price for a basic starter does not apply to a vehicle that requires a security integration module.

Customer gets mad, says something rude and stupid to save face and goes elsewhere only to realize that what he was told was indeed true but won't come back since he now feels dumb and embarrased.

 

That is gay.

They don't want you to make them more money.
