LAS VEGAS -- Mobile Productivity, Inc. (MPi), a premier supplier of
proprietary diagnostic, repair information and service merchandising
solutions to the automotive industry, announced today the appointment of
Joe Hilger to Director of Alliances and Chrysler Group Dealer
Development. In this position,
Hilger will leverage a career of more
than three decades with Chrysler Group to help MPi further develop
strategic automotive alliances, as well as increase penetration with all
Chrysler Group franchises nationwide. E[acute accent]Hilger retired from
a 33-year career with DaimlerChrysler, where he was Vice President of
Global Service for the Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge brands. While at the
Chrysler group, he focused on improving dealers' retail business by
advancing the call for increased customer satisfaction, service
department productivity, vehicle and service quality, including
dealer/factory relations. Prior to becoming Vice President, Hilger held
the position of Director of International Service and Parts and also
served as Director of Sales and Marketing Training. Prior to that,
Hilger served as Director of Mopar(R) Sales and Marketing where he
protected and expanded the Mopar(R) Parts and Hemi(R) Engine brands.
E[acute accent]During the first thirteen years of his career, Hilger
worked directly with dealers in the Kansas City, Memphis and Atlanta
zones where he led efforts to improve dealer viability and all elements
of the Service and Parts business. E[acute accent]Hilger is a 1972
graduate of Pittsburg State University where he earned a Bachelor of
Science Degree in Automotive Technology. E[acute accent]In July of this
year, Hilger founded Hilger Performance, LLC, a consulting company which
focuses on productivity and performance within the automotive industry
as well as drag racing. Hilger will continue his involvement with Hilger
Performance while also assuming his new role at MPi. E[acute
accent]"We are happy to have Joe on our team. He has a deep
appreciation for dealers and wants to see automotive service departments
and technicians improve productivity and efficiency. His wealth of
experience in the service and parts business, his intuition to know what
technicians want, and his desire to help dealers grow their service and
parts businesses make him an invaluable addition," said Les Silver,
MPi CEO. E[acute accent]Commenting on his new venture, Hilger stated,
"I really enjoyed my career at the Chrysler Group and am proud of
my contribution to the company and its dealers. As my quest to help
dealers and technicians continues, I am very excited about my
association with MPi and ARGIS. When technicians are unable to quickly
and efficiently find information, valuable time is lost and then
everyone loses ... the customer, the dealer, and the technician. ARGIS
solves these problems. I have seen this system in operation at
dealerships and it is clear that it offers real benefits. I have a deep
respect for dealers and I plan to help them grow their Service and Parts
business in a meaningful way."
