Company overview
History: Sn automobiles was started in 2018 by Selim Nasir. Upon moving to Darwin from Sydney he found that there was a huge scarcity for quality mechanics in Darwin, although there was a substantial amount of car owners in Darwin but the numbers of mechanics in comparison were very low. Therefore, he being a car enthusiast decided that he was going to open Sn automobiles.
Business Goals : The aim of the business was to ensure that customers get hassle-free and good car services at an affordable price. SN automobiles aim is to be a one-stop solution for all its customers. Their services include car services, oil changing, changing of lights, painting , polishing, car repairments , they also specialize in alignment setting , dent removal and window tinting services
Team: Initially they started small due to low capital, Selim who was the lead mechanic hired another sub mechanic called Anwar. Selim was dealing with the more technical side of the business-like engine repairs , faulty wiring , parts removal while Anwar concentrated more on the servicing side of things like changing of engine oil, fixing lights , painting all other miscellaneous stuff
Location: Sn automobiles is situated in one of the prime location of coconut grove just a 10 minutes’ drive from casuarina square and Darwin city.
Industry Structure Evaluation
Competitors: Despite a lot of small mechanic businesses sprouting in the Darwin area in the last couple of years SN’s main competitor remains MYcar. MYcar automobiles which have been a industry topper in Darwin for many years started out in Darwin as one of the first servicing facilities to set up businesses in Darwin. They are a chain business with shops around all over the major cities in Australia. They have all the state of the art technology including a very good website and customer service team. They have the best of machineries and the most talented technicians working under them thus their huge dominance in this market
Market Share: The Australian automative industry brings in 7 billion dollars a year into the economy and employs over 100,000 people .Northern territory has 0.7% percent of all the cars in australia so we are assuming the darwin automotive industry to be worth 49 million dollars. Upon speaking with the owner of SN automobiles we came to know he has sales of around 350-400 thousand a year.
Tatics: provides hassle-free services to the customer. They ask the customer to bring the car in, the mechanics then examine the car while the customer is waiting in the reception area and finally tells the customers what is wrong with the car

Key Performance Indicator
1. Customer Retention and Acquisition – Customer retention and acquisition may be the maximum impactful measurements in a car restore store. In different words, it is the share of present clients that go back for provider within a given term. Usually, these measurements are taken over a one-12 months duration.
2. Quote Capture Rate - It is crucial when taking this dimension to split new commercial enterprise rates from charges for present customers. Quotes furnished for existing customers will generally have a much better seize rate than the ones for potential new clients. 3. Recommendation Capture Rate – In the path of the automobile restore cycle encouraged offerings may be recognized as the result of inspections and diagnoses. This size will suggest the effectiveness of the upsell method at the store.
