Imagine walking into your shop and actually feeling… calm.

No fires to put out. No parts drama. No bottlenecks in the back.

Just smooth operations, productive people, and happy customers.

Sound too good to be true?

That’s what most shop owners think—until they learn what we’re about to show you.

The truth is, most of the stress in today’s collision shops isn’t caused by some big mystery.

It’s caused by a few broken fundamentals.

And when you fix those… everything changes.

Welcome to:

The Fundamentals of Operational Success Workshop 

 

Work Less. Accomplish More. Banish Chaos for Good.

For years, Dave Luehr believed that working harder was the answer.

More hours, more hustle, more pressure on his team.

But that wasn’t the solution—it was the problem.

 

After working with the nation’s top-performing body shops, he discovered something surprising:
3 core operational fundamentals drive almost every shop’s success—or failure.

 

And when you get these three dialed in, chaos disappears.

Stress fades.

Profit goes up. And people actually enjoy coming to work.

Here's what we’ll master together in this 1-day, in-person workshop:

🔧 MODULE 1: Work-In-Process Control

         Fix the #1 cause of chaos in collision repair.

If you don’t control what’s coming in and what’s going out, nothing else matters.

We’ll show you how to design your optimum WIP level, schedule smarter, and bring in the right kind of work at the right time.

  • How to balance your work mix for flow and profit

  • What to do with tow-ins and non-drives

  • Creating a real-world, flexible scheduling system

  • How to prioritize the jobs that matter most

 

🧠 MODULE 2: Repair Planning Accuracy

         Get it right the first time—every time.

No more guessing games. No more blueprinting chaos.

We’ll teach you our proven ‘one-touch’ method that ensures accurate estimates and smooth repairs from the jump.

  • Master two primary appraisal methods

  • Build a bulletproof triage & blueprinting system

  • Eliminate errors and rework

  • Incorporate OE procedures and ADAS the right way

 

📦 MODULE 3: Parts Management Mastery

         Design your own Parts SOP—and stick to it.

If you’re constantly battling missing, wrong, or late parts, it’s costing you more than you think.

We’ll help you create a custom, real-world SOP that eliminates frustration and improves flow instantly.

  • Kitting, carts, and mirror matching—done right

  • Vendor agreements that actually work

  • Pre-order strategies to save time

  • Using your management system to track it all

This isn’t theory.

It’s field-tested, real-world stuff that’s helping shops across the country:

📉 Cut stress

⏱️ Save time

📈 Improve efficiency and profits

And best of all... you’ll work less and accomplish more.
