MONROE, Mich. – Tenneco has increased the unique benefits of Monroe Brakes  brake pads by introducing innovative compartmental product packaging that helps prevent shipping-related damage to the included pad installation hardware, the company says. Ultra-premium Monroe Total Solution, premium Monroe ProSolution and Monroe Severe Solution brake pad sets are shipped complete with hardware kits for the vast majority of applications requiring this hardware, enabling service professionals to perform more high quality brake jobs in less time.

“The Monroe Brakes brand introduced the concept of including everything the technician needs to complete a quality brake job, and we continue to expand on this value proposition with durable new packaging that protects the hardware throughout the shipping and handling process,” said Tom Connelly, Monroe Brakes national marketing and sales manager.

In addition to enhanced protection characteristics, the new packaging also clearly communicates the features and benefits of each pad set.

Monroe Total Solution brake pads feature ultra-premium ceramic and semi-metallic friction formulations, shim technologies, stainless steel noise reduction hardware, Sensory Locking backing plates, and wire wear sensors, where applicable. Each pad set also includes brake lubricant to help technicians save time while performing a complete repair.

Monroe ProSolution brake pads provide premium technologies for exceptional performance at a lower price.  Monroe ProSolution pads feature premium ceramic and semi-metallic friction formulations, which provide exceptional noise reduction, long pad life and superior stopping performance.

Engineered for severe-duty applications such as emergency and utility vehicles, delivery trucks and school buses, Monroe Severe Solution brake pads help reduce brake maintenance and repair costs through longer pad and rotor life. These pads include ultra-premium friction materials formulated to provide exceptional high-temperature stability, stopping performance, fade resistance and longer service life.

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.
