Description:

Repairers are facing significant additional tooling and training to repair modern vehicle construction materials and technology. This session will look at the shrinking Labor GP% due to additional costs of investment in equipment, facility and training. Strategies will be explored to understand the mechanisms at your disposal to offset these rising business costs to justify a return on that capital expenditure.

Learning Objectives:

• What does current collision industry labor profitability look like currently and over the last several years?
• Why do we need to invest in additional facility, equipment or training and how much total money will I have to spend?
• How do I calculate my ROI on the capital investment required and what return is reasonable to expect?
• What time period should I consider a payback period for this incremental new investment?
• How do I equate the additional capital expense for facility, equipment and training into a reimbursable charge?
• Should the cost be passed on to customers or is it a cost of doing business?
