Great video. Scheduling is definitely the answer for drive able cars. But the tows never stop. Please advise

Sorry for the late reply... You CAN say no to tows. The consolidator shops do it all the time.

Where can I find the requirements to become a DRP shop? Any information is appreciated.

[@DaveLuehr]

Each insurance company has their own requirements. Are you sure you want that?

[@keithlanning7381]

Ok but before you get cycle time you have to have the maximum bugs worked out of your SOPs process and cross train your people working together and doing it the same way every time.The techs are the monster and you have to feed that monster so a lean lean WIP will kill your monsters drive but you cant just have cars sitting either.its a balance but i think shop lose site of it. If they lose site of the worker GP then the the worker wont care about the shops or MSO or Owners GP. and thats one big reason why you are not seeing 2nd generation body men or painters any more.😮😮😮 where did they Go.😢😢😢 they were WIP AN GP to death and when their give a Dam was broken they disappeared just like the Mohicans 😧😧😧😭😭🧐🧐🧐 they goneeees😮😮😮

[@DaveLuehr]

That's a lot to take in. When techs are paid on commission, most behaviors change and usually not in a good way nowadays. Grateful for your comment.

[@keithlanning7381]

True but with out them and giving them what they need to do their job it kills the drive of the whole shop.they are asked to do many things that cost them their cycle time an pay.from hunting parts and qc parts when they come in and not having a educated parts person they have to stop their paying job to help someone that is paid hourly to do theirs. Kills their drive.

[@daniellehaddad5402]

its not easy to turn down work.

[@DaveLuehr]

I hear ya! There's enough work for everyone, so choose work that helps you build a sustainable business.

[@philchigges2955]

number one if you were never an experienced tech.you do not have what it takes to be a good owner!!!you can't be taught what you don't know.and it's all a giant scam anyways.charge for oem parts,then put on korean.you know.
