Shop Performance Accelerator
Six days of training. Six months of support. Built for the owner.
The pattern we see most
More cars through the bay isn’t the answer
Most shop owners came up as technicians. The instinct is to move faster: more jobs, more invoices, more throughput. It feels productive. It usually isn’t. Every car carries a fixed cost, road test, setup, disassembly, so a one-hour job and a three-hour job cost nearly the same to run. Shops chasing volume end up with frustrated customers and margins that don’t add up at month end.
What changes
Fewer cars. Bigger tickets. Happier customers.
The program isn’t about pushing more services onto customers. It’s about slowing down and looking at the whole vehicle. Book the car for the day, run a proper inspection, and frame it right, cheaper to maintain than repair, cheaper to repair than replace, and customers stop cherry-picking and start trusting the process. Repair orders go up, the number of vehicles you need to run goes down, and the business gets easier to manage and more profitable.
Actual sales results (over 5 months)
vs. control
per shop
Accelerator shops grew total revenue 11.61 percentage points faster than shops outside the program, growth the broader market doesn’t explain. That gap works out to $68,181 in additional revenue per shop over five months. At a 25% net margin, that’s roughly $17,000 back in your pocket, enough to fully recover the one-time investment in the same five months. Equipment investments take years to pay back. This one doesn’t.

Before working with Alan, I was running my business on instinct and anxiety, not sticking to our numbers. In the past year we went from $1.75M to $2.3M in revenue, a $550,000 increase, and started paying ourselves better wages. The bigger shift was the peace. I wouldn’t care if it was $6,000 or $60,000. It’s been worth it.
