Blue Compass RV Leading Charge With Customer Service

Why Choose Blue Compass RV?

When it comes to RV dealers, RVers can be notoriously loyal and yet equally as fickle. It simply comes down to, are you taking care of me and my investment?

With the advent of social media, these same RVers are now quick to point out when a company, large or small, reneges on their promise. Even the corporate giants aren’t safe from bloggers unafraid to state their opinions.

Rather than tilting at windmills, Blue Compass RV, led by Founder, CEO, and President Jon Ferrando, has fueled their rapid growth by acquiring & building successful RV dealerships focused on exceptional customer service. 

“We’ve got an opportunity to create a powerful retail brand around an exceptional customer experience…”

A focus on customer service

While the growth of Blue Compass RV is nothing short of amazing (over 100 stores in just four years), the focus remains not so much on growth, but on arguably the most contentious part of RV ownership: service.

The days of every RVer being handy and accepting the fact that they’ll be doing all of their own repair work are gone. Today’s RVs are more sophisticated, and the demographic footprint of RVers has skewed younger. Those younger RVers coming into the hobby have grown up with automobiles that require almost no maintenance, often for tens of thousands of miles, outside of a simple oil change that most have never done themselves.

These new generations of RVers have also grown up expecting quality service and leaving reviews if the experience is not satisfactory. “That’s just how RVs are” is not an acceptable answer to the next generation of RV owners. Today’s modern RVer may or may not understand, or care about, the challenges the RV industry faces, and they most certainly will not accept excuses for bad service.

The burden on this customer satisfaction now rests fully on the RV dealer. This is where Ferrando and his team have set their focus. It can be more difficult than it sounds, but Blue Compass RV is deeply committed to bringing their customers the best service experience possible. Fixing the RV service problem comes with first understanding it.

“The practical reality is, as you go across the industry, there can be a significant wait time to get in for service for a number of reasons, including the supply chain and parts availability.”

Blue Compass Training 

There is no path towards exceptional customer service that doesn’t start with training. To that effect, Blue Compass RV has roughly 850 certified service technicians, with a goal of exceeding 1,000 by years’ end. To facilitate the company’s overall training initiative, Blue Compass RV utilizes three training centers at key locations in the US: Texas, Utah, and North Carolina.

Upon graduation, those service technicians then find themselves in one of the 1,000+ service bays in the Blue Compass RV family of dealerships across the country. They join the thousands of other highly trained associates that are passionate about providing an exceptional customer experience that’s second to none in RV sales and service.

Ferrando sums up the service initiative best by stating, “It’s a substantial investment for us and a long-term focus for building up loyal, qualified, certified, skilled technicians.” 

Building loyalty

That loyalty is not just reserved for technicians either. Blue Compass RV wants to build a loyal following of RV sales customers too. RVers that buy from Blue Compass RV appreciate the customer service and come back to buy their 2nd or 3rd RV as well.

That loyalty is cemented with the ability to service the RV you purchased at any of their Blue Compass RV locations across the country. This flies in the face of a decade-old industry practice of local dealerships servicing only their own.

Buying your RV from Blue Compass RV means that in the event you might need some type of service on your motorhome, 5th wheel, or travel trailer, any Blue Compass RV location will take care of you.

“RVers travel all over the country. We can service you wherever your travel takes you”

Selling RVs

Amidst all this talk of great service and an exceptional customer experience, let’s not forget that Blue Compass RV sells RVs too, offering a selection of premium brands with over 15,000 new and pre-owned RVs for customers to choose from.

The purchase experience for RVers across the country will find the same features and offerings at every dealership. From their friendly and knowledgeable staff to their RV Complete peace of mind package, the experience, in their words is: Real. Value. Complete.

In just over four years, Blue Compass RV is now the second largest RV dealership chain in the country. However, being number one isn’t only about the most stores; it’s about being number one in sales, service, and the follow-up experience.

If you can accomplish both without sacrificing those core values, then more power to you. Blue Compass RV seems to be headed that way.
