Shop Talk

Top Shop Challenge: It's crazy that 2024 is already half over. Share with us some shop goals you had at the start of the year and give an update on how they are progressing

This first half of the year we have undergone some renovations to the Tom Wood Nissan store, and it is finally coming to an end with the addition of the new Nissan logo signage. We are always striving to provide our customers with the most up to date accommodations while servicing and purchasing their new Nissan. Stop by any time for a nice cup of Starbucks coffee and have a look around

Top Shop Challenge: Who on your team always has the craziest or funniest stories to share?

We want to take this opportunity to wish Curt Arnold and happy anniversary as he celebrates 10 years with the Tom Wood Nissan store. Curt has a strong desire to help customers and is an asset to the Tom Wood Group. Here's to another 10 years Curt, thank you.

Top Shop Challenge: Summer is just around the corner. What does your shop do differently in the summer?

Congratulations to one of our favorite customers on a 4th place finish in the Indianapolis 500. Way to go Alexander Rossi

Springtime is the time to keep customers informed of their vehicle needs to insure it is road ready for those springtime drives. We work with the technicians and advisors constantly to ensure every attention to detail is paid to every vehicle every time it comes into the shop.

Top Shop Challenge: What are a couple of things you'd like to highlight that happened last month?

Last month was a struggle as customer counts seem to be down at the moment. This is not uncommon since Spring Break finished up and work always tends to slow down after that. Also, there was a full eclipse that happened and seemed to take everyones attention from servicing their vehicles.

Top Shop Challenge: What was the biggest surprise your shop saw in the last 3-6 months?

Over the past 3-6 months, the biggest surprise is the weather. By having a very mild winter we are experiencing no interruptions in our business due to bad weather.
