About the Renovated Facility
The newly renovated facility boasts several key features designed to ensure that customers feel welcomed and comfortable while their units are being serviced.
“We wanted to create an inviting space that communicates our heritage, values, mission, and vision,” said Steve Claude, Vice President of Customer Service. “It's all about making our customers feel at home, as part of the Jayco family.”
Among the notable additions include a conference room, which allows for private discussions and ensures customers receive undivided attention. The lobby also features a large monitor displaying Jayco’s family of brands, a refreshment area with coffee, refrigerator, microwave, TV and game center. Additionally, brochures of all Jayco brands (Entegra Coach®, Highland Ridge®, Starcraft RV® & Jayco) are available for customers interested in exploring upgrade options. A standout feature of the renovation is a large 3D timeline that vividly displays Jayco’s rich history, celebrating its milestones since its founding in 1968.
“Our commitment to customer service is evident in every aspect of the new lobby. From the historical timeline display to our mission and value statements, everything is designed to ensure that customers are treated with respect and honesty,” said Claude. “It's about providing quality service and making our customers feel comfortable and valued, just like family.”
Jayco's dedication to continuous improvement is also evident in these changes.
“We're always looking for ways to improve the customer experience,” Claude emphasized. “The renovated lobby is just one step in our ongoing effort to exceed customer expectations.”
An important aspect of Jayco’s service strategy is the Repair Event Cycle Time (RECT). This measurement focuses on minimizing downtime for customers.
“We want our customers to spend more time enjoying their RVs and less time waiting for repairs,” said Claude. “Our goal is to ensure quick, efficient service so that customers can get back to exploring and enjoying their RV lifestyle.”
The renovated lobby not only improves the physical space but also embodies Jayco’s mission to provide exceptional customer service. With these updates, Jayco continues to lead the industry by prioritizing customer satisfaction and quality.
