Alright, real quick before we get into it, I saw something this week that stopped me cold. A Toyota dealership. A dealership, the place we all used to make fun of for charging a hundred and eighty-nine dollars for an oil change. They are now selling full synthetic oil changes for fifty bucks. Fifty. Dollars. Any make, any model, no gimmicks, no tricks.
And I'm sitting here thinking, how is that even possible? Full synthetic oil costs what it costs. Filters cost what they cost. Labor is not free. So I started digging.
Here's what I found. The dealership is Bob Rohrman Toyota. The general manager there is a guy named Zac Kinch. And he ran this thing for three weeks, and he said it was doing wonders. So what does doing wonders mean? Thirteen percent more customer pay repair orders. Eighteen percent more billable hours per repair order. And this is the part that got me. Two people who came in for the fifty dollar oil change, first time ever at that dealership, bought a new car within three weeks.
