Service is just a "click" away!


BaumChevrolet-Buick is proud to introduce a new, more convenient approach to scheduling your next service visit.

Recently, our dealership partnered with Xtime, a web-based scheduling service that allows both dealership personnel and our customer to schedule service work quickly and accurately via the Baum Chevrolet-Buick website.

Much like today's popular online shopping websites, Xtime allows our customers to shop for only those services their vehicle requires. This "a la carte" style gives customers the ability to pick and choose what items they wish us to diagnose and repair. Additionally, the Xtime system also makes suggestions on scheduled maintenance based on the user simply updating the current mileage.
     
Not car-savvy? No problem! Xtime also allows customers to describe how their vehicle is performing, or in some cases, not performing. The information is shared, verbatim, with our service team who can ask additional questions once the vehicle arrives.
    
In addition, our new system provides customers with an appointment confirmation moments after completing a request, and also sends reminders about upcoming visits.  Additionally, Xtime can provide regular status updates after the vehicle has been checked in from the service drive.
     
Once an appointment is booked, it immediately shows up on the scheduling system used by our service advisors. That provides our service department with a real-time look at what work is coming into the shop, helping to schedule future appointments.

     
Thanks to Xtime, your next visit is only a few clicks away!
