Your dealership needs the stability of a healthy service department!
As a dealership professional, your ability to successfully manage the shop’s performance is critical to customer loyalty, employee retention, and the dealership’s stability and health.
Service Management Certification was built for you in partnership between the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA) and the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC).
It is designed to help you improve as a leader and arm you with the knowledge, skills and tools to guide your service department and your entire marine business to higher levels of performance.
