Village Volvo Case Study 1. Village Volvo is an independent service operation that provides quality repair service on out of warranty Volvo at reasonable cost. The shop was build in suburb in the outskirts of the city. Unfortunately, it is not centrally and conveniently located for all of the customers, however a daily shuttle service is considered, since no alternate transportation is presently available. Village Volvo is based in a new butler building that has four work bays, plus the office, storage and the waiting room.

The ideal situation would be to drop off the car and have a little time to play or put the kid in the “car school” where the children can drive a little plastic cars, learn the road rules and the signs, play the bus/ car/ gas station…etc. The kids would love it and parents can easily run the errands with their children and spend some more time together. This way the Village Volvo would definitely differentiate from Volvo dealers.
Introduction/Objective: Team 1 selected the short case study of CarMax vs. AutoNation vs. ZAG, (De Wit, & Meyer, 2010).
