It’s no secret that car repairs often come with a hefty price tag. Unfortunately, most people don’t plan to spend $2,500 on car repairs every month, leaving them woefully unprepared to meet this expense if their vehicle is in need of serious repairs. So, how do you help your customers get the repairs they need while also pricing your services fairly?

Jeff Tucker, CEO of Triple T Tire and Tapps, came up with a solution. His invention, the Tapps App, offers simple payment plans for his customers. Rather than spending days trying to find a compatible lender, customers can find a loan almost instantly and get the repairs they need. Not only does this put drivers back behind the wheel of their cars sooner, but it also helps generate more business for your establishment by giving customers a convenient way to pay.

On this episode of the Gain Traction Podcast, Mike Edge sits down with Jeff to discuss how adding customer payment plans can drive your business forward. Additionally, Jeff talks about why he came back to the family business after college instead of pursuing mechanical engineering, the inspiration behind the Tapps App, and how using the app has benefitted his customers.

• Jeff Tucker explains why he came back to the family business after pursuing mechanical engineering in college.
• How do you run a family business without the drama?
