Skype Chat Now Available

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

In May 2008 Salisbury Garage installed high speed, business class, broadband internet access to the office and workshop. This has proved a good investment and customers and staff alike are now reaping the benefits.

Today we have installed Skype to the main office computer. Skype allows free Skype to Skype messages to be sent between users, even when either party are offline.

Customers can now add salisbury.garage to their Skype contact list and initiate Skype Chat sessions with us. We will be able to accept bookings and provide customers with status updates on their vehicles via the Skype Chat interface.

Skype also provides technology which allows file transfers between users and we will be able to send and receive files via Skype when needed.

To send Salisbury Garage a Skype chat message click here or add us to your Skype contact list then right-click Salisbury Garage Ltd > Start Chat.

At present we are unable to accept Skype calls although we are currently upgrading our IT infrastructure and will be able to accept Skype calls in the future.

If you are interested in this technology ask us to give you a quick demonstration next time you visit our workshop.

Internet Connected Workshop

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Salisbury Garage have recently installed high speed broadband internet access to their workshop.

Internet access in our workshop has many advantages to us as a progressive business. There are literally thousands of resources available on-line and we can now access these to aid in the repair of vehicles and the sourcing of parts and equipment.

internetMany of our customers have internet access at home and work and prefer to communicate quickly and easily by email. Customers wishing to contact us by email can now do so by using our quick and easy web site contact form. Additionally, every member of the Salisbury Garage team has their own email account and you can contact them directly using email, details of which are available on each team member’s profile page.

In the near future we will be adding the popular communication tool Skype to our main office computer and although we won’t be able to answer Skype calls we will be able to reply to Skype chat messages and receive file transfers from customers. This will prove to be an ideal way to stay in touch with Salisbury Garage and we’ll be more than pleased to accept bookings and provide progress updates via Skype during the working day.

We are also well on the way to networking our workshop so we can add more interconnected resources in the future. Many innovations are now network ready and we would like to take advantage of these whilst giving the team as much access as possible to wide area resources.
