Consulting Services
Traditional consulting rarely works. We go far beyond the standard analysis and suggestions most offer. Our expertise is in implementation. We are experienced in delivering results through hands on, shop floor activity. We offer a proven revolutionary business system that delivers:
  • Standard, operating procedures that guarantee all work is done exactly right the first time.
  • Simple visual management tools that keep the process on track.
  • Scheduling that ensures all work begins the day the vehicle arrives, and keeps inventory moving.
  • Repair planning, not estimating, that finds all the damage upfront, so vehicles can keep moving.
  • Well-managed parts procurement that obtains all the parts correctly, up front, keeping repairs moving forward and eliminates returns.
  • Work flow that takes vehicles from step to step with high quality, uninterrupted.
  • Administrative processes that ensure accurate billing and eliminate A/R issues.
  • Management tools that allow you to deliver cycle time results less than 1/2 the industry.
  • Industry leading margins, quality & CSI results.
  • Employee satisfaction and retention.
  • Insurer satisfaction and increased volume.
  • Marketing tools and support to grow your volume.
