The Spring Rush Readiness Checklist
A printable one-page checklist covering everything a small engine shop should lock in before the first warm week of March. Built by people who only work with this niche.
- Intake workflow for storefront drop-offs and mobile pickup routes
- Booking calendar prep: service menu, durations, deposit rules
- Staffing & parts inventory reorder points for peak week
- Missed-call text-back script + review request timing
- Pre-season marketing touchpoints for last year’s customers
Five sections. Zero fluff.
Everything to lock in before the first warm week of March.
Plan your intake before the first call
Booking slots you can actually hit. Service turnaround expectations. Deposits on tune-ups to reduce no-shows.
Missed-call recovery
Every call you miss during March–May is a lost job. Automated text within 30 seconds keeps the lead warm.
Automate the repeatable stuff
Appointment reminders, ready-for-pickup texts, unpaid-invoice nudges, review requests. Set once. Runs forever.
Parts & staffing prep
Reorder points for your top-10 parts. Tech coverage for the peak weeks. Storefront vs. route day staffing.
Finish with a summer plan
Drop customers into a summer-storage nurture the day their unit ships out. Fill July with generator and pressure washer work.
Print-and-stick copy
Text scripts for missed calls, ready-for-pickup, and review requests. Swap in your shop name and go.
