People also ask
Q.When should I send car service reminders on WhatsApp?
30 days before due, 7 days before, 1 day before, then the morning of. This 4-touch cadence lifts service-bay show-up rate from ~55% to 80%+ vs SMS-only reminders.
Q.Can the customer book the slot directly from the reminder?
Yes — embed a WhatsApp Flow with date + workshop + service-type picker. Booking lands in your DMS in real time with no advisor in the loop.
Q.What service category does Meta classify this under?
UTILITY. Reminders are transactional — ₹0.13/msg in India vs ₹0.78 for MARKETING. Major cost saver at scale.
Q.How do I trigger reminders by km, not just months?
Push odometer readings from your DMS or the service mobile app into LandinChat. Trigger fires at 9,000 km for a 10,000-km service, etc.
Q.Can the workshop send job-card photos and estimate approval?
Yes. The service advisor sends photos + itemised estimate inside chat; customer taps APPROVE or CALL. Speeds turnaround by 40% and cuts disputes.
Q.Does this work for two-wheelers and commercial vehicles too?
Yes — same flow, different intervals. 2-wheeler runs on 3-month / 3,000-km cadence, CVs on monthly + load cycles.
Service revenue you're already leaving on the table
An average mass-market dealership workshop misses 20–40% of due services every month — customers forget, SMS reminders go unread, and follow-up calls reach voicemail. At a typical ₹6,000 average service ticket that's lakhs of leaked revenue per outlet per quarter.
WhatsApp reminders work because they're read (98% open vs 22% SMS), they're actionable (one-tap booking instead of 'call us'), and they cost a fraction of SMS at UTILITY rates. Pair that with photo-based job-card approval and the workshop runs faster and gets paid sooner.
