Are you retaining 30% net to gross? Do you have repair orders that have been open for over three months? How about receivables over 90 days? Do you have to write off old age receivables every month? Are you making 35% to 50% in Gross Profit on materials? Are you retaining 65% or more Gross Profit on labor? Does it seem to take forever to get a car through your shop? The list of questions like this goes on and on, it's no wonder so many dealers don't have Collision Centers, or are closing them.
A combination of Art & Science, today's Collision Centers are without a doubt the most misunderstood and neglected department in the modern dealership, yet offer the greatest opportunity for improving Fixed Absorption at your store.
