Spencer Defines
Machine Service
says the Making Of satisfied
Users 10 Best Asset-oWner
Wants Attention.

The best definition Of service,
as applied to our automobile bust
ness. is the making OF satisfied
users said r. R Spencer, serv-
ice manager OF the Overland
Irwin company. THE average
car owner demands nothing more
than courteous treatment from the
man from who he purchases his
machine and II his needs are TAX
en- care Of quickly and economical
ly he win In almost every case con-
tinne to favor the dealer with his
patronage
In many respects automobile
service is no different from that
OF hotel service. A hotel may
boast OF the best chef in the world.
but II the service Is poor the
guests will soon become dissatfs-
fled and the chances are that the
next time those people visit the
town they will select a different
place. The relations between car
owner and dealer are very much
the same. The owner will contin-
ne to do business with a dealer as
long as he receives proper treat
ment at his hands, but IL the
dealers interest in his customer
ends With the sale OF car he
has little chance of selling again
when the time rolls around for
the owner to invest in a new
machine.
That is why 1t is good business
policy Ter the dealer to pay strict
attention to the wants of the car
owner. And IL a stranger drops
in the sales room to inquire about
some mechanical feature OF the car
you are handling. make him feel
before he leaves that it Is pleas
ure for you to render such service.
A little attention and courtesy
on your part may mean the sale
of a car later on.
The same treatment should be
accorded the car owner when he
drives in for any needed repairs
or requirements. See that his
wants are taken care Of promptly
and efficiently and that he is
charged only a fair price for the
service rendered. By doing SO
you Will make OF him a friend for
