Launch Of User-Friendly Website Makes Auto Body Repair Experience Easy

(PRWEB) January 6, 2010 -- Today, 1,000 San Franciscans will be in an auto accident and will begin the odyssey of getting their car repaired. If they are like most people, it will have been a decade since their last accident and repair. Most of them will feel completely helpless and ill-prepared for what lies ahead. From filing an insurance claim to getting an estimate and choosing an auto body repair shop, consumers have to act quickly in making an important decision with very little information or experience.

Increasingly, consumers would turn to the internet to do exactly this kind of pre-purchase information gathering. Unfortunately, auto body shops, like most small businesses, have been slow to deliver what consumers are looking for: peace of mind, trust, and reassurance. Consumers feel they are left to choose a collision repair shop “sight unseen.” Not so with Chilton Auto Body's new website. (www.chiltonautobody.com)

“In order to meet the real needs of consumers who have been in an auto accident,” says owner Mike Chilton, “we have completely overhauled our website. The objective was to make it easy for first-time visitors to find what they were looking and to give them all of the information they need to make a decision that puts them at ease. They can find out everything about us any time night or day and they can do it without ever feeling put down.”

Chilton’s new website provides information that allows visitors to really “test drive” the business to see if it is right for them before making a decision. They can also confirm referrals they may have received from other sources, like insurance companies or car dealers. To this end, the website includes the following types of information:

•    Professional certifications

•    Customer reviews and testimonials

•    Business History and Shop Tour

•    Copy of Lifetime Warranty

•    Earth-friendly precautions and practices

•    Explanations of the repair and insurance claims processes

•    Business contact information, including: phone numbers, locations, maps, and business hours

A key feature on the website is the ability to make an “instant appointment.” This is the culmination of a process that allows the consumer to review the business at their own pace and then make an appointment to begin the repair process, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Instant Appointments allow the visitor to start relaxing immediately, even when the business is closed for the day.

Chilton concludes, “We think the website will be very appreciated by women. They can get all the answers to their questions without ever being made to feel stupid, looked down on, or taken advantage of. It’s the whole focus of our customer service as an AskPatty Certified Female Friendly® Business.”
