Internet
Repair databases, parts catalogs and module programming need a fast, stable connection.
The car was on the lift and the software would not download
By the Telecom Agency advisory team
Replacing a module on a late-model car means downloading its software from the manufacturer. On the shop's old connection that took the afternoon, with a bay tied up and a customer waiting.
What a consultant changes
An advisor finds the fastest dependable service at the address and adds a backup, since a programming session that drops halfway can cause real damage. A broker sees every provider's offer for that street, including the ones that never sent a flyer.
How Telecom Agency shops the market for auto repair shops
- The advice
- An advisor checks every provider at the shop's address for the fastest dependable service and a backup, since manufacturer software downloads cannot be interrupted, and reviews Wi-Fi across the bays.
- The price
- Internet, backup and phones are quoted together. The advisor checks whether your present provider will match a competing offer before recommending a change.
- The service
- If a programming session fails because of the connection, the advisor takes it up with the carrier. Contract renewals are flagged in advance.
- No fee to you: providers pay the advisor
- Every provider compared, none favoured
- One contact for every carrier
- Reviews and support after the install
