In 2025, the automotive world is moving faster than ever. With new vehicles getting smarter, customers expecting faster service, and margins getting tighter, one thing is clear: automation is no longer a luxury – it’s a necessity, especially for Contrôle Technique garages.
🔧 The Current Challenges in the Industry
Many inspection centers are still running with:
-
Manual appointment booking,
-
Paper-based processes or outdated Excel sheets,
-
Slow communication with customers,
-
Lack of reminders, follow-ups, or automated invoicing.
This slows down daily operations, increases errors, and leads to lost time and lost business.
📈 What Customers Expect in 2025
Modern clients – especially younger generations – expect:
-
Online booking in seconds,
-
SMS/WhatsApp reminders,
-
Digital invoices sent instantly,
-
Fast answers via chatbot or email.
If your garage doesn’t offer this level of convenience, they’ll just choose the one that does.
✅ What Automation Can Do for You
Automation tools like CRM systems, AI assistants, and scheduling software can help with:
1. Automatic Appointment Reminders
✅ Reduce no-shows by 30–50%
✅ Send SMS, WhatsApp, or emails automatically
2. Faster Customer Communication
✅ Use AI to answer common questions
✅ Centralize customer history and preferences
3. Efficient Workflows
✅ Stop wasting time on repetitive admin tasks
✅ Automate invoicing and reporting
✅ Ensure follow-ups for repeat visits
4. Stronger Client Retention
✅ Set up yearly control reminders
✅ Personalize your communication
✅ Build customer trust through consistency
⚠️ The Risks of Doing Nothing
Garages that resist automation will face:
❌ Lost Revenue
Missed appointments, no-shows, and lack of follow-up can cost thousands per year.
❌ Poor Customer Experience
If you’re hard to reach or slow to respond, customers won’t come back.
❌ Staff Burnout
Repetitive admin work kills morale and takes away from value-added tasks.
❌ Falling Behind Competitors
Other garages are already automating. If you don’t, you're simply left behind.
