Dealer Insight

Gregg Tompkins Services Offered;

Warranty Compliance Review:

Often times dealerships may not be aware their claims don’t meet the specific manufacturer's compliance standards until it’s too late. Having an auditor tell you your claim procedures are less than perfect can prove devastating. This is where WE™ can help. Along with compliance reviews, other applicable areas of concern will be addressed, such as Warranty Expense Reports, Dealer Self Reviews, Warranty Parts Retention and your Warranty Receivable Aging Schedule. Warranty claims will be reviewed and procedures implemented to greatly reduce, or eliminate, the possibility of chargeback during an audit. WE™ also provide a written report outlining any identified deviations from the factory policy along with suggestions to avoid them in the future.

Warranty Administration Training:

While manufacturers offer classroom training for warranty administration, it doesn’t come close to what is needed to properly prepare for, or avoid, the stumbling blocks that occur in the real life of a service department. You need someone to work with YOUR people, in YOUR dealership on YOUR paperwork. With many manufacturers cutting warranty advances, it’s important that your people are properly trained so you have proper legitimate cash flow. Gregg is available to assist your staff in your comfortable environment with your paperwork that you generate on a day to day basis.

Audit Assistance:

With the number of warranty audits increasing and becoming more devastating from almost all of the manufacturers, it’s important that you have someone on YOUR side to fight for you! With Gregg’s expertise, he can offer you assistance before, during and after an audit. Gregg can assist you before an audit by reviewing your claims for deficiencies before the auditor does. He can also assist your dealership with the review of all chargebacks and write appeals on questionable debits.

Gregg's Background:

About Randy Shepard  
   
Randy Shepard has been associated with automobile dealers since 1960. He has worked in every facet, from the ground floor up to Parts and Service Director of a multiple store franchise.

Claims initially were only processed for Ford Motor Company. In 1987, Randy began processing claims for Chrysler and in 1992, he added General Motors. Due to influx and growth of multiple franchise dealers we have also added the following imports to the mix:

 
 
  • Nissan
  • Kia
  • Land Rover
  • Jaguar
  • Isuzu
  • And more are being added as necessary
In 1989, Randy began publishing the best Ford Lincoln Mercury Newsletter available for Parts and Service Managers called "Warranty Information Tips".

Since 1996, Randy has been publishing an all inclusive Weekly Fax Edition of the Wizards of Warranty® Newsletter. The primary purpose of the All-in-One newsletter is to make available all current, up-to-date information in one reliable source.  Also, by keeping the price extremely reasonable and giving more information, it allows dealers who have multiple franchises to purchase only one newsletter instead of four or five.  This provides many additional opportunities to dealers.  One of which, being the ability to see what other manufacturers are doing thus being forewarned should their manufacturer do the same.

Randy has traveled the country holding several Warranty and Audit Awareness Workshops. He also has represented many dealers during Mini Reviews, Audits and Dealer Policy Board Appeals.

As CEO of Randy Shepard and Associates, Inc.™, Randy’s role has been to dedicate his working life to proper Warranty and Policy Administration.
