Customer-Centric Service Ideology [RR 968]

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Auto Care

“As shop owners and management, we want to be productive, we want to follow key metrics, we all need to be in business. We all got to meet our goals, our personal goals as shop owners and management. But at the end of the day, if you’re not looking for moments of stress happening in your organization and what you can do from a resource point of view, that’s what I see.”

Frank Leutz emphasizes a customer-centric approach, highlighting the value of simplicity, positive employee work culture, and community involvement.
