Rekindle my listEvery car you serviced is due again. You know the date.
The oil change was 7,000 miles ago. The brake job you recommended in the spring was "next time." The customer still has your sticker on the windshield and no idea when they were last in.
Three groups, all of them already yours.
Service due by date or mileage
You have the last visit and the interval. That is a reminder with a real reason.
Declined repairs
Recommended, not done. Brakes, tires, belts. A plain "still want to get that handled?"
Seasonal changeovers
Tires before first frost, AC before summer, with a drop-off time in the message.
When: By mileage and date for service, and the two weeks before each season change.
In your name, about their job, with one easy question.
This is the opener our auto repair playbook starts from, and the follow-up two days later. Yours gets your name, your crew, and your words.
Knows the car, the last visit, and what was recommended.
Books a drop-off time, not a vague "come in."
Never quotes a repair price by text.
Puts a "my car just died" reply through to the shop phone.
