Fixed Operations Consulting That Drives Results

We work side-by-side with your service team to find revenue you're leaving on the table.

🔧

Service Drive Performance

We analyze your service drive from write-up to delivery, identifying bottlenecks and implementing processes that increase throughput without sacrificing quality.

📈

Repair Order Growth

Grow your RO count through better customer retention strategies, targeted marketing, and advisor training that turns every visit into a long-term relationship.

💰

Effective Labor Rate Optimization

We audit your pricing, op-code structures, and technician utilization to close the gap between door rate and effective rate — putting real dollars back on the bottom line.

Parts Department Strategy

From inventory right-sizing to wholesale growth and obsolescence management, we help your parts department become a profit center, not a cost center.

🎓

Advisor & Team Training

Hands-on coaching for service advisors, managers, and technicians focused on customer experience, menu selling, and building trust at the service lane.

📊

Service Absorption Analysis

We help you track and improve your service absorption rate so your Fixed Ops department covers dealership overhead — giving variable ops room to invest in growth.

How We Work With You

No cookie-cutter playbooks. Every engagement starts with understanding your dealership.

1

Assessment

We spend time in your service department — observing processes, reviewing financials, and talking to your team to understand where the opportunities are.

2

Strategy & Action Plan

We build a customized plan with clear priorities, realistic timelines, and measurable goals tailored to your department's strengths and challenges.

3

Implementation & Coaching

We work alongside your team to execute — training advisors, optimizing workflows, and tracking progress with regular check-ins to ensure lasting results.

We Don't Just Advise — We Get In the Trenches

Most consultants hand you a binder and walk away. We embed with your team, roll up our sleeves, and stay until the results speak for themselves.

  • On-site presence — we work in your service drive, not from a remote office
  • Advisor-level coaching that builds skills your team keeps long after we leave
  • Financial accountability — we track every metric and tie our work to your bottom line
  • Dealer-group experience across single-points and multi-rooftop operations
  • No long-term contracts — our results earn your continued partnership
