Four Levers. Real Margin.
Every engagement is built around the specific levers that move your bottom line. No generic frameworks. No theory. Just the operational specifics that have worked inside real shops for two decades.
Collision Center Profitability
Turn Idle Bay Days Into Predictable Revenue.
Most shops know they're leaving money on the table. Few know exactly where. After two decades managing collision operations — from the estimate to the P&L — I know what a healthy shop looks like, and I know what's quietly strangling one. We go line by line: production cycle time, bay utilization, parts gross, labor efficiency, and supplement capture. The goal isn't a report. It's a shop that runs differently on Monday morning.
Identify and close the specific gaps in your production cycle
Improve bay utilization without adding headcount
Build a supplement capture process that doesn't rely on individual heroics
Create a weekly operating rhythm tied to real numbers
Sublet Reduction & Insourcing
Stop Paying Vendors to Do Work You Could Own.
Glass. Tint. PPF. Detail. PDR. Wheel repair. ADAS calibration. Every one of those is a line item leaving your building and landing in someone else's pocket. Insourcing is the single fastest margin recovery play in the collision industry — and most shops never run the full play because they don't know the real numbers. We model the actual ROI, build the insourcing roadmap, and install the operational process so the work stays in your building.

Recon Optimization
Every Unit Turns Faster. Every Unit Costs Less.
Reconditioning is where dealership fixed ops either makes money or bleeds it. Slow cycle times, inconsistent quality, and per-unit costs that nobody's actually tracking — these are the symptoms. The fix is process standardization and throughput discipline. We build the recon workflow from intake to lot-ready, install the metrics that matter, and create the accountability structure that keeps it running after the engagement ends.
Establish a true per-unit recon cost baseline
Standardize the intake-to-lot-ready workflow
Reduce average cycle time with process, not pressure
Build the daily operating metrics that keep the team accountable
Growth Forecasting
Decide on Forecasts. Not Feelings.
Growth decisions made on gut feel are how shops end up overextended or under-resourced. Before you add a bay, hire a tech, or insource a new service, you need to know what the numbers actually say — best case, worst case, and everything in between. We build the financial model around your real operation: your current throughput, your actual costs, your market, and your capacity. Then we stress-test it so you walk into the decision with your eyes open.
