Our Blueprint for a Better Process

It’s rarely one big thing that slows your shop down—it’s the hundred small ones. The hidden inefficiencies and "the-way-we’ve-always-done-it" habits that quietly eat away at your time, your materials, and your patience.

Our partnership starts by identifying those hidden drains.

The process begins with the Introductory Questionnaire and a private, one-on-one Zoom call. This is a collaborative discovery session where we listen to understand your specific situation—what’s working, what isn't—and agree on how to proceed with targeting the issues that matter most to you.

Following our call, I conduct the intensive assessment and thorough research. This is where I dive deep into your workflow, analyzing everything from your estimating skills to your position in the market. The goal is to get a laser-focused, unbiased vision of your operation.

This detailed research culminates in your customized game plan. On our second private Zoom call, I present my findings and we walk through the 20-30 actionable steps designed for your shop.

This blueprint isn't where our work ends—it's where the real transformation begins. From here we dedicate four subsequent consulting sessions to implementing these steps together, turning your new strategy into a permanent, more profitable workflow.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Our DRP scorecards were killing us. Our cycle time was way too high because we were writing rushed estimates up front and then getting buried in supplements for weeks. It felt like we were always behind.

I've been writing estimates for over a decade, so I thought I had my process down. But it felt like every job was a fight.

Andrea came in and immediately worked with me on my personal blueprinting process. I learned how to slow down during teardown to actually map the entire repair, which felt counterintuitive at first.

​​​​​​​At the same time, she helped the shop implement a new parts-mirroring and cart system.

The result? My supplement rate has dropped by over 60%, and our shop's overall cycle time is down four full days. I'm not just writing estimates anymore; I'm building a predictable repair plan.​

- Jimmy V. From NJ
​​​​​​​

I thought I was pretty good at my job, but our gross profit on labor was always low and nobody could figure out why.

​​​​​​​I was constantly battling with techs over missed operations on my estimates.

Andrea did two things that changed everything. First, she sat with me and showed me how to mine the estimating system for non-included operations I was missing on almost every repair. That was on me.

Second, she helped our whole shop organize a daily production walk. For the first time, me, the parts manager, and the lead tech were all on the same page before the car even hit the floor.

It's simple: I'm capturing labor ops I used to miss, and the shop isn't dealing with as many last-minute surprises. Our KPIs are finally in the green.

I'll be honest, I thought this was going to be another industry 'expert' selling us fluff. I've been doing this a long time and figured our process was just 'how it is.' We had supplements on nearly every job and cars were always waiting on parts.

Andrea changed my mind in two days. She didn't just talk theory; she watched my every move and tweaked my actual estimating routine to be more thorough.That was my part.

​​​​​​​ Then, she got management to invest in a better system for pre-ordering parts based on my initial blueprint.

I'm a believer now. The changes she helped me make dropped my supplement rate by over 75%. With the new shop-wide parts process, our average cycle time is down by at least 15%.

I'm not dealing with angry phone calls, and the better CSI scores prove it. She didn't just change my habits; she helped fix the shop's broken system.

  • WHAT PEOPLE SAY


    What stood out the most is during the first phone call it felt like Andrea had already toured my entire shop. She knew exactly what questions to ask because she's seen it all before.

    She worked with me to establish a system to engage my entire staff to buy in to the changes.  That was an obstacle I’ve never been able to overcome.   Then learning how to properly measure the shops numbers and overhaul our processes.  Andrea even taught us innovative ways to gain 100% teardown and improvements to our blueprinting.

    Funny thing is a lot of things she pointed out were right under my nose the entire time.

    -Andrew W.


  • WHAT PEOPLE SAY


    I was used to stepping into a tornado every day. It drove me crazy. Which means I drove my team crazy too. I'm too embarrassed to mention what our cycle times and close ratios actually were but let me tell you, they were bad.

    It did take some time to turn things around, but everything Andrea told us to start working on, how to do things differently. It all made sense and we worked toward it.

    I can say with confidence now that our shop is running so much better. All of our numbers have improved and we're looking forward to what our annual numbers look like after this next year. Thanks again, Andrea, you did it.


    -Thomas D.


  • WHAT PEOPLE SAY


    We had been doing ok for a good while, but then we hit a plateau. Our end of month reports showed like everything was just stagnant. Month after month we all found ourselves asking the same questions, and we always just stood around scratching our heads.

    What was with all the holdups, why so many differences in our estimates and closings. Why couldn't we keep up with the right processes  we all thought we had agreed on.

    Andrea had a lot of great recommendations and ideas. Took me a bit getting used to holding the flashlight on this one, but I'm glad I listened to everything she had to say. No regrets.
