THROTTLE TESTIMONIALS

“I’ve been using Throttle in all of my shops for over 12 years. Throttle is key to retaining our customers and keeping them coming back to us. If you’re not regularly sending your customers emails, texts and postcards with coupons, it almost opens the door to your competition to try to get them. Retain who you have, and lock them in with a solid reminder program like Throttle.”

Steve Sarrantonio, SpeeDeeThrottle is my first form of marketing in this industry.”

“The Throttle program has been a great source to help retain and also get new customers. Their artwork is very professional and eye catching. They always have new ideas to help promote additional sales. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to keep customers coming back!”

Oscar Aceves, Grease Monkey

“Our customers can go anywhere for vehicle maintenance; however Throttle helps keep that from happening. Using their customer interval cards keeps our presence within customer reach as their vehicle maintenance becomes due. Our customers are important to Throttle and that says a lot!”

Kim Hawksworth, Grease Monkey

“Penny for penny, Throttle is the best customer retention marketing a shop can do.
As a prior auto consultant for a large quick lube franchisor producing over $40 million in annual sales, I ALWAYS recommended Throttle as a must-have for any shop. Now that I'm a quick lube franchisee myself, I of course use Throttle as my must have. My Car counts have gone up by 35% in year one and sales have exceeded 3.2 million at my first 2 shops and that's virtually all from the ideas & solutions Throttle provides. They offer a huge wealth of consulting to aid businesses in growing their car counts. From postcards to email drip campaigns to detailed reporting, Throttle continually drives cars into our shops. And we don't have to monitor anything because it's all automated and continuously running in the background. Throttle is the number one sales tool to keep customers returning in a timely manner.”

Chris Beckham. SpeeDee & Grease Monkey

“Everybody tells you they have a marketing plan that will work. YADA YADA YADA! After 38 years in this business, I have heard, seen, or tried just about everything. The proof is in the pudding. After starting with Throttle, my car counts have been up SIGNIFICANTLY every month over the previous year! Coincidence? I don't think so. NOTHING ELSE NEED BE SAID.”

Patrick Dattilio, Grease Monkey

“I know that if I stopped using the Throttle reminder program, I’d see a decline in return service. Throttle works. It’s an effective program that brings business and a positive ROI for the business.”

Ryan Frisby, Valvoline Express Care
