Delivering speed, efficiency, and customer focus
By performing repairs as quickly as possible, we aim to minimize any inconvenience to our customers. Our approach offers the most cost-effective solutions, setting-up the team and the program roll-out balancing costs, resources availability and time for the execution.

Event-Driven Recall ensures excellence and efficiency
Our event-driven recall process is meticulously designed to ensure maximum execution and customer satisfaction. Upon arrival, with or without appointment, customers are greeted and provided with refreshments while their vehicle undergoes the necessary recall repairs. Once the repair is complete, the vehicle is promptly returned to the customer, ensuring a seamless and pleasant experience.
MSX oversees the entire deployment of the recall event, from program management to securing permits and insurance. Our dedicated team thoroughly prepares for each event, understanding the types of vehicles expected, the tools required, and the number of participants. We handle everything from location identification and logistics to staff selection and facility management, ensuring a comfortable environment with amenities such as food, heating/AC, medical assistance, and security. Additionally, we manage customer outreach, including contact and booking, to ensure a smooth process from start to finish.
Effective event management requires an experienced team to handle complex preparations and planning. Coordination across various departments is crucial, involving sales for new vehicles, parts departments for recall shipments, marketing and social media for awareness, and field operations for on-site support. Each event demands constant effort and precise planning to meet deadlines, often followed by another event in a different city, necessitating a well-organized plan to maintain efficiency and success.
