Financial Management for the Auto Repair Business, presented by Vin Waterhouse

Description

This will be hands-on and attendees will do calculations of their shop's performance and compare their results to targets and results of the top 25% most profitable shops.

We start with monthly net profit goal and specific steps required to achieve it.

Improved vehicle quality and the growth of electronics means shops sell fewer parts per driven mile. Shop owners have evolved to make the majority of their profit in labor like accountants, carpenters, electricians, lawyers, etc. This change requires unshakable attention to detail as you navigate the transition from parts profit dependency to labor G.P. paying all the bills and parts profit as add-on. Dollar-for-dollar the profit in labor is much higher than in parts.

The top 25% of most profitable shops earn almost 5 times the net profit as average shops.

This class demonstrates what they do differently and how they do it. Invest the time to be with other shop owners and discuss proven practices that take your shop to the next level. Receive a monthly budget for every category of your business and track your net profit daily with ease.
