ELR Opportunity

Estimate annual labor sales opportunity from an ELR increase.

Enter hours and ELR increase

Tip: If ELR is under ~85% of door rate, discount control and menu alignment are usually the fastest wins.

What we improve

We focus on the three levers that most reliably move fixed-ops gross: labor pricing governance, parts pricing discipline, and compliant warranty reimbursement optimization.

🔧

Labor rate performance

Reduce discount leakage, align menu pricing, tighten advisor approvals, and raise effective labor rate without adding car count.

  • Outputs: ELR leakage map, pricing playbook, approval workflow
  • KPI focus: ELR %, hours/RO, discount rate
📦

Parts margin optimization

Matrix redesign and competitive SKU guardrails that lift gross while staying market-aware.

  • Outputs: matrix tiers, menu alignment, exception rules
  • KPI focus: parts GP%, discount rate, matrix compliance
🧾

Warranty reimbursement support

RO eligibility review and submission preparation to improve manufacturer labor and parts reimbursement rates (per OEM + state rules).

  • Outputs: submission packet, audit trail, response support
  • KPI focus: warranty effective rate, claims variance

Fixed Ops Profit Diagnostic

Send a few standard reports and we’ll return a 1-page summary showing where gross is leaking and what to fix first.

  • Needed: MIS (or equivalent), parts sales summary, discount report (if available)
  • Includes: ELR snapshot, parts GP snapshot, warranty opportunity notes
Who this is for

Ideal rooftops

Luxury and import dealers, multi-rooftop groups, and any store with inconsistent pricing behavior across advisors.

  • Common signals: ELR under 85% of door rate, heavy overrides, flat parts matrix
  • Fast wins: discount governance, menu alignment, matrix tuning
  • Longer wins: reimbursement submissions, process discipline
