Built from firsthand experience with the gap between strategy and execution.
ServiceEdge Auto was created to address a quiet but consequential gap in automotive fixed operations.
ServiceEdge Auto was founded around a simple observation: automotive service organizations often know a great deal about what's happening, but still struggle to determine which operating decisions are actually changing the outcome.
The company exists to help dealerships, dealer groups, and OEMs answer that question more clearly, and to create a practical path from evidence to action.
About ServiceEdge Auto
Focused on the decisions that quietly shape service outcomes.
ServiceEdge Auto is an automotive decision-intelligence company focused on fixed operations. We work with individual dealerships, dealer groups, and OEMs on real service-business questions involving retention, customer-pay revenue, declined work, pricing, capacity, appointment access, and customer experience.
The work is intentionally practical. It can begin with one store, one business problem, and existing data. The immediate goal isn't to introduce another system or tell experienced operators how to run their business. It's to determine what's actually happening, which decisions appear to matter, what can realistically be changed, and whether a better operating response is worth applying or validating.
Where a decision later proves recurring, measurable, governable, and valuable enough to scale, ServiceEdge Command™ provides the longer-term path to more consistent execution.
The operating principle is straightforward:
Start with the problem. Follow the evidence. Change only what can be justified. Scale only what works.
Why We're Building
ServiceEdge Auto
Because better aftersales outcomes require more than better data. They require better decisions.
We started ServiceEdge Auto because we kept coming back to the same problem: automotive aftersales does not suffer from a lack of data, tools, programs, or good people. The harder problem is what happens between insight and action.
Dealerships and OEMs already have DMS data, CRM systems, retention programs, pricing tools, capacity reporting, dashboards, and increasingly sophisticated predictive models. Yet similar customers, vehicles, and service moments can still produce very different outcomes depending on how decisions are made when retention, margin, capacity, pricing, and customer experience pressures collide.
That gap is what led us to build ServiceEdge Auto.
Phil has spent much of his career working across automotive aftersales, customer experience, strategy, product development, and large-scale operating challenges. He saw firsthand how much effort goes into generating better information and better insight, and how often the final decision still depends on who's in the chair, what pressure the store is under, and how competing priorities are resolved in the moment.
Brooke brings a different but equally important perspective. Her strength is in people, relationships, follow-through, and making sure conversations stay connected to the real-world concerns of the people doing the work. She leads dealer engagement and relationship development for ServiceEdge Auto, helping us stay close to what operators are actually seeing and making it easier for the right conversations to move forward.
Together, we built ServiceEdge Auto around a simple belief: Better information matters. But better outcomes depend on better decisions.
Our work helps dealerships, dealer networks, and OEMs identify where execution is varying, understand which differences actually matter, validate whether better decision logic improves results, and determine the right path forward - whether that means clearer guidance, different operating rules, workflow change, further validation, or eventually scalable execution through ServiceEdge Command™.
We're not interested in adding technology simply because more technology is available. We believe responsible change should start with the business question, prove the problem is real, test what actually works, and scale only what earns the right to scale.
That's why we started ServiceEdge Auto. To help the automotive service industry move from more information to clearer decisions, and from clearer decisions to more consistent execution.

How We Approach the Work
Evidence before assumptions.
ServiceEdge Auto is built around a few simple principles:
Start with a real business problem.
Not a technology category or predetermined solution.
Use the smallest credible scope.
One dealership can be enough to determine whether a meaningful decision problem exists.
Respect operating reality.
Store conditions, economics, customer behavior, and human judgment all matter.
Separate signal from storytelling.
A pattern should be supported by evidence before it becomes guidance.
Be willing to stop.
Not every suspected problem is meaningful. Not every insight deserves validation. Not every validated decision deserves automation.
What service outcome are you trying to improve?
Contact Us
Start with the business problem, not a software demo.
Tell us what you are seeing, where it's happening, and what you would like to understand. The first conversation is designed to determine whether ServiceEdge Auto is relevant, what the smallest credible starting scope would be, and whether the issue should be examined at the store, group, region, or OEM level.
Get in touch!
Share a few details about yourself and the aftersales issue you're trying to understand.
ServiceEdge Auto will review the issue and respond with the most practical next step. That may be a brief working discussion, a request for a small amount of context, a recommendation for a narrow store-level signal review, or a conclusion that the issue is not the right fit.
