The #1 Provider of Comprehensive Recall & Retention Solutions

Recall Masters develops solutions that help the automotive industry drive revenue and support retention above and beyond recalls through its R+ Premium solution. The customer acquisition and retention platform leverages best-in-class vehicle owner data to connect 2nd/3rd/4th generation owners – 3X more customers and prospects than what is visible to even the manufacturers. Repeat servicing is supported through a targeted retention card effort that broadens the reach to lost and lapsed customers before they defect. The turnkey, fully-integrated customer lifecycle management solution creates greater recall awareness and helps automakers protect their brand.

For OEMs and many dealerships, recall compliance is not only a priority for mitigating risk, but it’s also paramount for protecting the brand.  More than 1 in 4 vehicles on the road today have an open recall. While it’s a crisis for all consumers and the entire auto industry, it’s also an opportunity for dealerships to be a beacon of safety in their community. We’re proud to deliver results that:

  • Acquire First Time Customers
  • Increase Customer Pay Revenue
  • Increase New Vehicle Sales
  • Win Back Inactive Customers
  • Enhance Overall Service Retention
  • Save CSI & Preserve Brand Integrity
  • Supercharge Retention Efforts with R+ Premium

Explained: Our Proprietary Process for Recall Management

Recall & Vehicle Owner Intelligence

Our technology and knowledgebase make us #1. Trusted by the largest dealer groups and OEMs, our platform analyzes data from more than 50 sources to target strategic recall opportunities. Superior data enables you to service more customers better and faster and upsell more services and vehicle sales.

We Build Your Customized Recall Department

From a Call Center Hotline team that fields consumer inquiries and schedules service appointments to a Recall Department webpage that captures leads, our many innovative solutions are integrated into your existing processes in order to empower your staff and keep consumers connected to your dealership.

Multi-Channel Communications Services

Our ground-breaking, multi-touchpoint communications drive traffic to your dealership. Digital forensics technology identifies active recalls that were never completed. Target 3X more recalls than previously realized by tracking down current/secondary owners. Put OEM and NHTSA-compliant communications to work for you.

High-Engagement Retention Solutions

The data shows that if consumers service with you, there’s a 74% chance they’ll buy their next vehicle from you.  But your retention effort requires a real boost – it needs to convince consumers to take action.  With R+ Premium, RM engages consumers through recalls, then retains new and existing customers through our proprietary retention solutions.

The Results

Every dealership and market is different, but one outcome is consistent – ROI!  These results don’t come easy, as evident in other “recall” efforts that don’t employ digital forensics and multi-channel communications.  It’s one thing to uncover VINs with open recalls, and quite another driving customers into your dealership.

“We were curious about the kind of performance that we would see out of the R+ retention campaign, as our store prides itself on already having great retention. We have seen slow growth in the past, but wanted to see how far we could push it and felt we needed something different. R+ gave us an opportunity to see if we could restore activity while reminding consumers of our quality servicing and great customer service. Today, vehicle owners have more servicing options, but we’re intent on preserving and protecting our customer base as well as to win back some who have defected to retail service centers. We are believers! We’re tracking 192 ROs a month with an average $335 RO amount on a $30 incentive card. Customers feel appreciated and are willing to spend 10X the card amount and more. Thank you Recall Masters! We can’t wait for our next campaign.”

We’ve all read this stat somewhere – the average consumer would rather visit the dentist than to visit a garage for vehicle repairs.  I don’t remember where this data point was first uncovered, but it really doesn’t surprise me.  Given the hit to the wallet, vehicle servicing probably causes significantly more financial anxiety than oral care.  But, the reluctance is not limited to financial considerations.  With both dental insurance and a current vehicle warranty, there’s still trepidation about a visit to the shop.  If you’re looking for validation in the data, turn to data that tracks recall compliance.

Annually, recalls are being repaired at a rate between 29 – 33%.  Let me translate – of all the recalls that are announced in a calendar year, 29 – 33% of the vehicles affected are repaired within that same calendar year.  Is that more or less than what you would have guessed?  To clarify, recall repairs (parts and labor) don’t come at a cost to the vehicle owner.  It’s the vehicle manufacturer...read the entire blogpost here..

Recap of 2023: Recalls Return to Historic Numbers

A Deluge of Recalls, though Compliance Increases

Limited manufacturing and the supply chain crisis over the past two years gave way to a flood of recalls in 2023.  The continued proliferation of software and electronics in modern vehicles has also led to an overwhelming number of related recalls.  Familiar themes of airbag defects layered on top of battery fires makes 2023 one of the most dangerous ever recorded in recall history.
