This post is for workshop owners in Singapore who are reviewing their lubricant supplier. The supplier affects more than the price of a drum of oil. It decides which brands you can offer and how quickly stock arrives. It also decides whether you get help when a customer’s car needs an unusual specification.
A checklist for workshop owners
- A brand range with premium, mid-range and value options allows you to serve every customer.
- Genuine stock is important, and buying from authorised distributors helps you avoid counterfeit products.
- Local warehousing in Singapore means faster delivery and less cash tied up in your own inventory.
- Technical support should include help matching oils to carmaker approvals and training on service equipment.
- Value-added services, such as BG tool-based services, let you sell more than an oil change.
- Marketing support, such as being listed where drivers search for workshops, also helps.
