The Parts and Service Desk

I am so excited to announce that The Parts and Service Desk is Going Live! This is something that we have wanted to do for a long time and are so looking forward to growing the Automotive Service Community. Starting Friday November 26th, we will have Nicholas Overby and then Sunday November 28th we will have Dakota Bradley. This is going to be some great conversation and I hope that you tune in.

Now there is a lot that went into the making of this truck when considered that it is what Ford is considering a new take on what is commonly referred to as a Resto-Mod. Based on a 1978 F-100 pickup, the F-100 Eluminator concept features all-wheel drive via two powerful electric motors shared with the 2021 Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition. Ford is saying that the F-100 Eluminator concept is a preview of how they are supporting customers as they go all-electric and embrace zero-tailpipe emissions performance, even for older vehicles. The all-electric F-100 Eluminator concept was designed and created by Ford Performance in collaboration with MLe Racecars and sits on a custom Roadster Shop chassis. It’s painted in the popular Avalanche Gray with Cerakote Copper accents applied by Brand X Customs, while the interior features a billet aluminum dash by JJR Fabrication and avocado-tanned leather upholstery by MDM Upholstery. It’s also equipped with custom 19x10-inch billet aluminum three-piece wheels by Forgeline that are able to accept OEM hubcaps, wrapped in Michelin® Latitude® Sport 275/45-19 high-performance tires. Globally, vehicle performance parts and accessories industry generates approximately $50 billion annually, that covers hardware for everything from hot rods to off-road vehicles, and from mobile electronics to vehicle accessories. Ford Vehicle Personalization and Ford Performance Parts continue to add new choices for customers, like the Eluminator e-crate motor, as the shift to electric vehicles accelerates. It’s the first of what will become a growing portfolio of performance parts and accessories for Ford electric vehicles. Over time, Ford Performance plans to develop a wider list of components for the Eluminator powertrain with some of the leading performance manufacturers, including battery systems, controllers and traction inverters to close the loop on full turnkey aftermarket electrification solutions.

As we mentioned in the title of this video, The Parts and Service Desk is in Las Vegas for SEMA 2021, We take a ride in the Vegas Loop in one of the many Tesla that are running for the SEMA Show. Had to give it a try and was excited that it took only 3 minutes to get from the West Hall station to the South Hall Station. in just three minutes. Definitely amazing to see this technology as it is being introduced into the world, and looking forward to its expansion. This was also our first ride in a Tesla..

In this video I will discuss some of the basic common sense things you should have or need to have when calling in to an Extended Service Contract Company, commonly referred to as an Extended Warranty Company. This is basic information you need for the call. It is not a detailed training video however it is a conversation of what information you should have. Hopefully you have been shown by your manager or a co-advisor. This is not a hard conversation if you are prepared. In fact it is even easier than trying to sell to a customer. If they have the coverage and you have the information needed, you will get an approval.

It all starts with Training Your CUSTOMERS, to do what you want. Like where to park their car at a independent shop or how to pull into the service drive at a dealership. This will make a difference!

What is The Parts And Service Desk? It is something you can relate to. This is a new Video and Podcast Series talking about the ins and outs of the automotive service industry with your host Kevin.
