TechnologyNewsPh | Launching Your Auto Repair Shop: My Journey and Insights at APV Expo 2024 | I am excited to share my journey and insights at the APV Expo 2024. Auto Tech and Mobility Association Inc, in partnership with Informa Markets, is proud to host this seminar that I am holding. My role in the association is my way of paying it forward to the auto service industry. This expo, the largest in the Philippines, focusing on auto parts and vehicles, will take place from June 5 to 7 at the World Trade Center in Metro Manila. I invite you to join my session, “Launching Your Auto Repair Shop – From Concept to Success,” where I will guide you through the essential steps of starting and growing a successful auto repair business.
On June 6, at 11 AM in Hall B, Conference Room, I will be sharing my experiences and lessons learned from building ValuePlus Auto Service from the ground up and expanding it through the VPX Auto Service Franchise. This seminar will cover key areas such as market research, business planning, financial management, and customer service excellence, all crucial for launching a successful auto repair shop.
One of the first critical steps I’ll discuss is the importance of thorough market research. Understanding the local automotive market, identifying potential customers, and analyzing competitors were vital in the early stages of my business. I will share strategies on how to gather and interpret market data effectively to ensure you are well-prepared to enter the industry.
Creating a robust business plan was another crucial component of my success. During the session, you will learn how to outline your vision, mission, and objectives, set realistic financial goals, determine start-up costs, and plan for long-term growth. I will provide insights into financial management, including budgeting, securing funding, and managing operational costs to ensure profitability.
Customer service has always been the backbone of ValuePlus Auto Service. In the workshop, I will highlight best practices for building strong customer relationships, handling complaints, and providing exceptional service. I will also talk about the importance of staff training and development, ensuring your employees are skilled, knowledgeable, and motivated.
Moreover, I will discuss the benefits and challenges of franchising. Expanding ValuePlus Auto Service through the VPX Auto Franchise has been a rewarding journey, and I will share insights into selecting franchisees, maintaining brand consistency, and supporting franchise operations. Franchising can be a viable growth strategy for your auto repair shop, and I’ll provide practical advice on navigating this path.
