When the bays are empty, something isn’t working

Car count is down - When you look at your month-over-month reports, you see that there’s a definite dip in overall car count and services provided.

Competition - When you were the only auto shop in town, your customers had no choice. Now that another shop has opened up, you need to remind customers that they can trust you with their cars.

Bad data - You want to reach your customers, but emails are bouncing and text is expensive. When you look under the hood, you see that customer information is incorrect.

It’s time to call Throttle.

Print + Digital = more cars, more revenue and more predictable growth

Throttle’s clients consistently outperform the industry because we don’t rely on digital alone.
We combine the precision of digital targeting with the unmatched reach of print and the results speak for themselves.

  • Print delivers what digital can’t. Postcards reach 90% of physical addresses, while only 30% of emails are valid and just 12% are ever opened.1

  • Direct mail outperforms digital by 15% in the automotive space, making print essential, not optional. 2

  • On average, new clients achieve a 9 –10% increase in car count and a 12% lift in average ticket in their first year on the Throttle Program.

From Our Clients

“Throttle absolutely works. It helps our customer retention and drives car count. It also boosts our reputation with more reviews.”

Throttle_GreaseMonkey-1

“I’ve been using Throttle in all of my shops for over 12 years. Throttle is the key to retaining our customers and keeping them coming back to us. If you're not regularly sending your customers emails, texts and postcards with coupons, it almost opens the door to your competition to try to get them."

Throttle_SpeeDee
