Just wondering if anybody has completed new vehicle shops for this company. If so, how did it go? Would you do it again?

I did several for them last month. The first was a bit shaky but I took care of the requested clarifications and things have been fine and dandy ever since.

I do a lot of car shops. For Monterry, Intellishop and Automotive Insights mostly. For my money, the Automotice Insights pay the best and also have the best report. I would do all of the shops I could for this company.

So............can you get out of there in an hour or less? Ideally, I'd like to be there about 30-35 minutes, but I fear I will be there for a looooooooong time. I foresee myself having to finagle my way out of there. Those car sales(men) are usually pretty good! Just curious; have you ever had a female salesperson at a dealership? Seems they are still mostly men.

Car salespeople are mostly male. But women are the best car salespeople, and have been for years according to statistics. My last two car shops were with women reps, and both were impressive.

Most car shops take me about an hour. That's the usual, with time for the initial fact finding, the walkaround, test ride and follow up price and interest chat. Some are shorter if the sales rep doesn't give a damn, and some can take longer.

I like cars, so they are some of my favorite shops. If you don't like cars, and talking about cars, I don't think they're such a good fit.

How does one register with Automotive Insights. I went to their website and do not see a link to click on. I tried emailing them, but their email service is down.

I love doing car dealerships etc. Most of my jobs deal with new cars and repairs.

Thanks.

I completed my first shop for them last week. I was there for slightly over 1 hour. With the test drive and everything else it will be very hard to get out in 30-35 minutes. Plan on being there for at least 1 hour. If they feel that they can get away with it they will try to pressure you. I have never had to finagle my way out. The secret is to be firm that you want to look around some more before making a decision.

I have done many video automobile shops for them. Mostly well compensated, and Dottie is very supportive of her video shoppers.

Poor customer service? Don't get mad; get video.
