HOW TO DESIGN & IMPLEMENT A WORLD-CLASS PRODUCTION SYSTEM IN ANY COLLISION REPAIR BUSINESS.

3-DAY WORKSHOP

Did you know the average body shop spends only 2 hours a day actively working on each repair?

That means 75% of the workday, jobs just sit—and shops struggle to turn a profit.

The most efficient, profitable shops don’t leave this to chance. They use proven systems that clear the roadblocks holding technicians back from getting cars moving.

This workshop is a deep dive into lean principles and the Theory of Constraints—combined with hands-on guidance to design the perfect production system for each unique shop. Plus, we dedicate an entire day to building a clear, written action plan that ensures attendees don’t just learn, but actually implement and succeed.

STOP LEAVING BUSINESS SUCCESS TO CHANCE!

1-DAY WORKSHOP

Anything you want is within reach—once you have a clear vision and a real plan to get there.

In this interactive, hands-on workshop, owners and managers will start by getting a clear picture of where their shop stands today. Then, you’ll build a compelling vision for your business and craft a Unique Selling Proposition that sets you apart from the competition.

Using the Elite 5 Pillars of Success Framework, you’ll develop a written strategy designed to drive your shop forward with focus and confidence.

Your roadmap will cover every critical area, including:

• A financial plan with clear monthly goals

• A culture and performance plan that drives your team

• A customer experience and marketing plan that attracts and retains

• A process improvement plan that boosts efficiency

• A risk management plan to protect what you’ve built

Get clear on where you are, where you want to go, and exactly how you’ll get there.

BOOST PRODUCTIVITY. MAXIMIZE PROFIT. BANISH THE STRESS.

1-DAY WORKSHOP

Most of the chaos in your shop isn’t inevitable—it’s fixable.

The truth is, the most successful collision repairers aren’t doing hundreds of things right… they’re doing a few things exceptionally well. Dave Luehr and the Elite team have identified the high-leverage actions that remove stress, increase flow, and make your operation run smoother—so you can work less and accomplish more.

This powerful, hands-on workshop focuses on three core areas that unlock operational control:

• Work-In-Process (WIP) management

• Repair planning accuracy

• Parts management systems

Bring your team, learn together, and build a customized action plan you can implement immediately. Because when your team helps create the solution—they’ll own it.

Less chaos. More clarity. Real results.

UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF YOUR SHOPS' METRICS & ACHIEVE HIGHER PROFITS!

1-DAY WORKSHOP

You don’t need to be a financial expert to run a highly profitable shop.

You just need to know which numbers actually matter—and how to use them to drive better decisions every day.

Know Your Numbers makes financial clarity simple and powerful. When owners, managers, and department leaders align around a few key metrics, big things happen—profits increase, waste decreases, and the entire team pulls in the same direction.

In this course, you’ll discover:

• The handful of numbers that matter most

• Where to find them in your shop management system

• How to take daily, proactive action to improve performance

It’s not about knowing every number—it’s about knowing the right ones.

And once you do, everything changes.
