You wonder if other shops are doing better, and why. Here's how Nolavi works through it, the same way a good mechanic works on a car: find the concern, the cause, the correction, then verify the fix.
Nate's shop kept about 8% of sales as profit and he didn't know if that was good.
Nolavi broke profit into parts. Parts profit and car count were strong. Labor profit was weak because of a low effective labor rate and high payroll share.
He focused on just those two numbers: charging diag time, quoting to book time and cutting waiting time for techs.
Net profit rose from 8% to 13% of sales in four months.
How we work. We make changes like this for shops all the time, using each shop's own data. The numbers shown are examples.
It varies a lot. Many owners aim for double digit net profit. Look at the parts that make it up, not just the total.
Effective labor rate, payroll share, parts profit and car count.
