The makers of Raybestos brand brake and Raybestos brand chassis products have teamed together to develop a business building promotion with real striking force. Countermen receive cash rebates, technicians are able to purchase a customized promotion kit and their customers receive free custom t-shirts … and one lucky fan will win the grand prize … a customized 2014 Raybestos Rattlesnake Toyota Tundra!
 
The Story Behind the Truck
The 2014 Toyota Tundra is Texas-made, and Texas-tough… capable of ripping through severe off-road trails and harsh desert terrain. The Raybestos Rattlesnake is being customized by Addictive Dessert Designs and will feature custom bumpers, side steps and chase rack.

Thanks to Toyota Racing Development, a Toyota 5.7-Liter aluminum i-FORCE DOHC 32 valve V-8 with a tuned TRD Supercharger helps the Raybestos Rattlesnake reach 600+ hp. It will also include a high-lift off road suspension and off-road shocks.

Its stopping power will come from the same Raybestos short track racing brake package used by the Joe Gibbs Racing team. The Raybestos Rattlesnake will stretch its off-road muscle with Raybestos Professional Grade chassis parts.

TRD will also install headers and a full stainless steel muffler exhaust with polished stainless steel tips. “It is going to have a pressurized air intake to allow the engine to breathe a lot better … like an engine twice its size,” said Ted Moncure, the TRD Functional Accessory Engineering Manager.

The Raybestos Rattlesnake will also have improved fuel economy and, after Moncure’s team of engineers and technicians get through with it, the 2014 Tundra will have thirty percent more horsepower and twenty five percent more torque.

World-renowned tattoo artist, Corey Miller, will give the signature-edition truck its custom wrap. Miller took his inspiration from a formidable Texas icon … the Texas Rattlesnake. A rattler with the iconic flair of a Corey Miller tattoo will be shown on both sides of the truck, and a signature “Raybestos Flying R” will be emblazoned on the hood.  Miller said, “This truck is going to bear its fangs and scream forward just like a rattler does when it strikes … absolutely shredding it.”
 
The Finer Points of the Promotion
The Raybestos Rattlesnake program runs July 15 through October 15, 2013. Participating technicians can offer their customers a free Raybestos Rattlesnake custom t-shirt with every $25 purchase of qualifying Raybestos brake and/or chassis products. Each redeemed rebate card serves as an entry to win the grand prize. Technicians can also earn a free t-shirt and up to $25 for selling qualifying product. The free t-shirt offer and the chance to enter the grand prize drawing end October 15, 2013.

Second prize is a Joe Gibbs Racing customized 2013 Yamaha YZ450F dirt bike; third prize is a TRAXXAS remote control vehicle; and fourth place receives a Replay XD camera.

During the promotional period, countermen can earn a FREE t-shirt and reward up to $25 for selling qualifying Raybestos brand brake and/or chassis products. A tally card is provided to track rewards, and the tally card also serves as an entry into the grand prize drawing.

To promote the offer and sweepstakes, participating installation shops can purchase a Raybestos Rattlesnake promotional kit for $99. The kit includes: a limited edition Raybestos Rattlesnake graphic tin sign, a promotional window poster, a counter card with 25 t-shirt redemption cards and five t-shirts. They also receive a FREE goods certificate to offset the cost of the kit!

The True Cost Of Comebacks

Comebacks are a hot topic today. You need to track all comebacks, determine the reason (tech error, part error, training issue, other) and then calculate the true cost of the comeback.

By Joe Marconi of Elite
Comebacks are a hot topic today. You need to track
all comebacks, determine the reason (tech error, part error, training issue,
other) and then calculate the true cost of the comeback.
Here are a few things to consider:
• The loss of time when performing the comeback; time that the tech can use to
perform other work and generate profit;
• The misc costs, such as overhead costs, supplies, cleaners, etc.;
• Towing costs, rental, etc.;
• Cost to morale;
• Reputation damage; and
• Reduction to your profit margin.
For every part issue, you need to
inform your supplier. Sit down with suppliers on a regular basis. Don’t return defective
parts until you have listed the parts, and maintain a report. Document
everything.
Part issues are increasing. Every shop
owner I speak to is frustrated over this.
Remember, comebacks kill your bottom
line. The more comebacks you have, the more they’re killing your profits.
