01

Identify the actual vehicle

Two cars with the same model name may have different trims, mileage and locations. Ask for the stock reference or listing URL, then use the dealership’s published vehicle information. Have sales confirm current availability before a customer travels.

02

Ask what makes a test drive worthwhile

Collect a preferred day, branch and anything the buyer wants to check, such as boot space for a pushchair. The salesperson can use those details when proposing a slot and preparing the vehicle.

03

Separate showroom and workshop calls

Someone asking about an oil change needs the service desk. Include workshop hours and service booking details alongside sales information so routine maintenance enquiries reach the right people.

FAQ

Common questions

Can the receptionist value a trade-in?

It can collect the model and year for a salesperson. Your team appraises condition and sets the offer.

What about finance offers?

Share the dealership’s published finance page and refer personal eligibility or payment calculations to the finance team.
