LAS VEGAS -

MPi — a provider of vehicle inspection tools, processes, and consulting for dealer service departments —established Regional Dealer Advisory and Fixed Operations Advisory councils on Monday. These groups are aimed at helping dealerships achieve better performance and increased revenue from their fixed operations.  

The company explained the councils will be divided by regions — Eastern, Midwest and Western. Each will have its own separate dealer advisory and separate fixed operations advisory council to address the unique marketing challenges and perspectives on a regional level.

MPi indicated each council member will attend quarterly or semi-annual meetings via the company’s virtual meeting room and will be involved in an array of other projects, such as:

—Providing MPi with feedback to enhance EDGE and its other services.
—Providing MPi with immediate feedback on questions, comments or concerns.
—Providing insight into the future needs of the member’s dealership and OEM.
—Testing new products and enhancements.
—Supporting the growth of MPi within the regional market.

“The Regional Advisory Council program makes it possible for our customers to influence the future of our products,” noted Les Silver, MPi’s chairman and chief executive officer.

“It brings respected MPi EDGE users together to provide product feedback and suggestions,” Silver continued.

“It also affords them the opportunity to share valuable industry experience and knowledge with each other about solutions that have brought them success,” he went on to say.

“The response has been wonderful and has proven the strong demand for such a program as to date we have 14 dealers and 33 fixed-ops directors signed up,” Silver added.

Any dealer or fixed operations director wishing to be part of a regional council should call (888) 503-8040.

Officials also pointed out EDGE pricing is based on dealership size and number of users. A dealership can receive a no-cost price quote and business case by contacting MPi at (888) 335-5736 or visiting its website at www.mpi-edge.com.
