Openbay+ Includes Real-Time Service Appointment Scheduling Across Pep Boys Locations
Openbay extends coverage for its automotive subscription service marketplace, Openbay+, with the addition of Pep Boys. To meet the high expectations of modern-day consumer shopping behavior when searching for a service professional, Openbay+ delivers real-time service appointment scheduling, which now includes all Pep Boys locations across the continental U.S.
Pep Boys is a leading U.S. automotive service provider with more than 900 locations nationwide.
Real-Time Scheduling
Real-time service appointment scheduling automates the process of scheduling automotive service without relying on back-and-forth emails, phone calls, or filling out a web-form to only wait for a reply. Availability is presented in real-time with immediate appointment confirmation on a date and time for service. This allows customers to schedule service appointments with confirmation when it’s best for them based on a location’s operating hours, or better yet, 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Appointments sync directly with the customer’s calendar where reminders of the service appointment can be set automatically on Openbay+.
