Five hours to find what's slowing your shop down.
And fix it.
A focused 5-hour session with Dave Luehr and special guest Jon Parker, working on your shop instead of in it. Leave with your optimum WIP calculated, your bottleneck identified, and a scheduling system you can put on the wall Monday morning.
Busy isn't the same as profitable.
Your parking lot is full. Your techs are working hard. Your phone won't stop ringing. And somehow the numbers at the end of the month still don't look like they should.
Here's what's actually happening: cars aren't moving through your shop. They're sitting in it. Every car that sits is cash tied up, cycle time climbing, admin costs stacking, and a customer calling for updates. You don't have a work problem. You have a flow problem.
And flow doesn't come from working harder. It comes from velocity: the high-performance business model the best shops run on.
This workshop is for you if...
✓ You run an independent shop doing real revenue, but the profit doesn't match how hard everyone's working.
✓ You're tired of chaos setting your schedule instead of the other way around.
✓ You're a great fixer of cars who was never handed a system for running the business side.
✓ You're ready to work ON the shop for five focused hours to change how it runs for good.
What you'll walk away with
Your real numbers, worked live, so you leave ready to implement.
Your optimum WIP, calculated
Little's Law on your real numbers. Exactly how much work your shop should have on the property. Not a guess.
Your bottleneck, on paper
The one constraint setting the pace for your whole shop, and which fix moves the needle first.
A scheduling system that runs itself
The simple triage-and-slot method used by some of the most profitable shops in North America.
A path to 20%+ more throughput
The "slow down to go faster" shift, plus the moves that make it real instead of a slogan.

A look inside our last workshop
Here's a quick sneak peek at what a Velocity workshop actually feels like.
"The answer wasn't more effort, it was a better system. Our touch time is now 2x and our cash flow is 2x better too."

Questions, answered
It's virtual and only 5 hours. What will I actually get done?
You'll leave with your optimum WIP calculated, your bottleneck identified, and a scheduling system built on your own numbers. Five focused hours, will give you more insight into your shop than you can imagine. If you feel like you can't step away for just 5 hours... you need to prioritize this more than you think.
I've been to workshops before. How is this different?
Not like this one. We go through multiple simulations using your own numbers. You will see the potential and be given the steps to build your system to be more streamlined, more efficient, and ultimately more profitable.
Can I send my manager?
Yes, but owners who attend get the most out of it. One long-time member sent his team for years before coming himself. His words: "that's where the gap started. I should have came to the first one."
What do I need?
Your management system numbers (we'll tell you which ones ahead of time) and 5 hours of uninterrupted time so you can focus and go deep. The more focused time and effort you put in, the more you will get out.

September 10. Five hours.
Your whole shop, faster.
Every week you wait is another week of cars sitting, cash tied up, and chaos setting your schedule. You've felt it... now come fix it!
