FARGO, N.D. — With a growing customer base and an eye toward the future, Inland Truck Parts & Service is expanding its capabilities to better serve the Fargo, N.D., area. In addition to new Saturday hours, Inland now boasts 14 new service bays as part of a 20,000-square-foot facility expansion that has brought in the West Fargo service shop under one roof.

“We have a proud history of providing our customers with high-quality parts and superior service,” said General Manager Duane Parke. “This expansion to our facility allows us to continue that tradition by operating more efficiently and utilizing the expertise of our West Fargo team.”

Inland draws from a vast parts inventory covering everything from light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks to SUVs and 4x4s. Fast, professional on-the-truck service ranges from diagnostics to repairs. Inland says it sets the industry standard for remanufactured transmissions, drivelines, clutches and more, and that an in-house component shop and on-site reman facility guarantees quality control and quick turnaround.

The expansion also includes a new street entrance, which runs behind the facility on 39th Street South and makes the facility much more easily accessible for trucks and trailers. The store is now open on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., in addition to normal weekday hours.

“Our customers are loving the new 39th Street entrance, which makes maneuvering large trucks much simpler,” said Service Manager Kyle Furman. “And the Saturday hours create even more scheduling convenience for our customers.”

Customer Service: How It’s Done

Customer service should be your number one priority, and it all starts with the greeting.

This is always an important topic to discuss, because I consider excellent customer service one of the most important tools you can have to earn trust, respect and repeat business from the customers that come through your door. Whether that customer is do-it-yourselfer from across town or the professional repair shop across the street, your business depends on a solid relationship.It’s a subject that I am passionate about, and it’s one that many people are losing touch with. Whether you are communicating to someone in person, on the phone or using some type of social media, good customer service and bad can both exist. You can’t afford the latter, so this is the first in a series of topics which can and should be shared from the front of the shop to the back. No matter which role you hold, you represent the shop and yourself. Customer service should be your number one priority.First on the list is the greeting. From the second a customer walks in the door, they need to know you appreciate them coming in and how important they are to your business. First impressions are everything and here’s the correct way to do it each and every time: look them directly in the eye, smile and say hello!Of course, you can say “Good morning” or “Welcome to Joe’s Autocare,” but it should be a formal greeting and the most important thing is that you have smiled, looked them in the eye and recognized that they have walked through the door.You should always retain a formal greeting until you are on a first-name basis with a customer. Only once you have established that level of relationship is it OK to use the less formal greeting of “Hi,” followed by the person’s name.This greeting does more than just indicate respect and appreciation for someone walking through the door. Most likely there are customers both new and old who are in earshot of your conversation. For newer customers, this continues to build rapport and reinforce their positive view of your shop; they see that you demonstrate respect and treat everyone in the same manner. For repeat customers, even ones that have been coming for years, the greeting is important because the way you treat them is the reason they continue to come.And when a long-time customer comes in and you greet them with “Hi [First Name],” this indicates your appreciation for them and that you’re glad to see them as a person, more than just a customer. New customers that witness this will see that your repeat customers are comfortable enough to be on a first-name basis, another indication of the trust they have in you.
