Key Member Services Partners:
Priority Payments Local – Autolink!
Priority Payment is the membership’s Preferred Credit Card/Merchant Services provider. PRIORITY provides dealers with the advanced technology, training, and support to maximize dealership payment processing, reduce transaction fee expenses, and assist with credit card fee reimbursement and compliance. Priority works with your team within your existing DMS to successfully upgrade processing and efficiency for members.
In February of 2024, NYS passed a law that allows all retail businesses, like dealerships, the opportunity to recover fair credit card reimbursement processing fees, so Priority Payment’s task is to assist dealerships with that process.
FIXED PERFORMANCE
Your Fixed Operations Consulting and Coaching partner.
Dealerships in need of performing your Warranty Parts and Labor studies need to utilize Fixed Performance to maximize their returns from manufacturers.
NYS franchise law allows dealers to receive fair and competitive retail pricing on warranty parts and labor rates. If dealers are not taking advantage of the new laws, they are literally walking away from fair reimbursement. Why accept less from the manufacturer than you would receive from a paying customer?
The Fixed Performance team will analyze your ROs and numbers, take care of all the required paperwork, and then submit your “Retail on Warranty” order directly to the manufacturer.
The Fixed Operations professionals are extremely experienced to maximize service performance because they include former dealership owners, Fixed Operations Directors, manufacturer warranty auditors who review all submissions personally, Service Managers, GMs, Body Shop Certification Instructors, Executives with F&I and Insurance backgrounds, and former parts managers.
