Bronco Motors Hyundai West's Ryan Hatch Wins Silver Medal In The Global Hyundai Service Advisor Championship

The gold, silver and bronze medal winners, including Hatch, represent the best of the best globally and those who consistently go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure each customer leaves the dealership satisfied. Service advisors like Hatch and Merrill work with customers to handle simple maintenance services such as oil changes, tire rotations and up to the most difficult repairs. Hatch, whose silver medal finish also won him $4,000, is from Bronco Motors Hyundai West in Boise, Idaho. Merrill is from Jerry's Hyundai in Weatherford, Texas. 

"The competition was fierce and for Ryan to take home a silver is a really big deal for Hyundai Motor America and Bronco Motors Hyundai West," said Frank Ferrara, executive vice president, customer satisfaction, Hyundai Motor America. "His and John's performances at the Service Advisor Championship highlight our commitment to providing an outstanding customer experience and arming our service advisors with the technologies and training they need."

The Service Advisor Championship is designed to improve customer satisfaction at Hyundai service centers across the globe. Improved customer satisfaction comes from having dealership service advisors compete against one another in a unique and interactive environment. The competition tests customer focused service processes and the advisors' abilities via written exam and a judged role playing scenario with a customer. The tests cover everything that happens from when a customer drops off their vehicle to when it is delivered back to them. The competition ultimately recognizes top performing advisors in the following areas: appointments, greeting and write-up / walk around. Hatch and Merrill competed with advanced tablet PCs using Hyundai's new Workshop Automation system.
