What You’ll Learn
Most shops struggle with labor time variance; two technicians performing the same job can vary significantly in how long it takes to complete that job based on skill and experience. Without clear expectations, it’s almost impossible to know what productive, efficient performance really looks like.
In this live webinar, you’ll learn how to use trusted labor time standards to:
- Assign the right tech to the right job. Match jobs to technician strengths and keep repairs moving efficiently.
- Identify training opportunities using real data. Spot where techs need support, and celebrate the ones consistently outperforming expectations.
- Improve estimate accuracy for customers and outside fleets. Use trusted benchmarks to quote confidently and consistently.
- Standardize labor expectations across shops and teams. Bring fairness, clarity, and predictability to your operation.
- Validate vendor labor charges. Know instantly whether an outside invoice aligns with industry-standard labor times and flag discrepancies before they become costly.
Why It Matters
Labor is one of the largest, most variable costs in fleet maintenance.
When you don’t know how long a job should take, you can’t:
- Predict when equipment will be road-ready
- Hold vendors accountable
- Coach technicians effectively
- Improve utilization
- Plan shop capacity accurately
Bringing budgeted labor times into your workflow gives you a
clear, data-driven standard that benefits everyone... Your team, your customers, and your bottom line.
