What to put in the ad

  • The accessory and the installed price
  • Whether it’s genuine (OEM) or aftermarket, and the warranty
  • Install time, and whether you can do it during a service visit
  • An end date

  • Bring the bikes
  • Make it yours

A sample caption

Imagine walking out to a warm car this winter. Get a remote starter installed at [Your Dealership] for $X, with genuine parts and a warranty, and most installs are done in a day. Book it with your winter tire swap and save a trip. [link]

Fine print to include

  • “Installed price on most vehicles; some models need extra parts.”
  • “Genuine accessory warranty applies. Expires [date].”

Only advertise prices and offers your service team knows about, and keep the price the same on your website, Google and social media.

Tips that make it work

  • Bundle accessories with the seasonal service people are already booking.
  • Show the accessory in use (a frosty windshield and a warm cabin, a bike on the roof), not just the box.
  • Post new-owner accessory ideas a week after delivery.
Make it in DealerAdGen. In Quick ads, choose Parts & Accessories, type your offer, and get the ad in every size with captions in about a minute. Or start from the free service ad templates.

Questions

Good to know

Will an aftermarket accessory void a vehicle warranty?

Generally, an aftermarket part doesn’t void the whole warranty, though damage it causes may not be covered. Say clearly whether the part is genuine or aftermarket and what warranty covers it.
