Frequently asked questions
What KPIs does the auto repair kit track?
The Excel KPI dashboard tracks Average Repair Order (ARO), hours per RO, close rate, customer satisfaction scores, declined work recovery rate, and more — all the metrics that matter for service advisor performance.
Does this cover DVI (Digital Vehicle Inspection) communication?
Yes. The kit includes an Estimate Presentation Guide with a 3-category framework (safety, needed, recommended) that works with DVI results, helping your service advisor communicate findings clearly to customers.
Can I customize the scripts for my auto repair shop?
Absolutely. Every script, checklist, and template is fully editable. Add your shop name, adjust the estimate presentation to match your pricing structure, and modify workflows for your shop management system.
What format are the service advisor training files in?
The kit includes editable DOCX files (Microsoft Word), printable PDFs, and an Excel (XLSX) KPI dashboard. Compatible with Google Docs and Google Sheets as well.
Does this include declined work follow-up?
Yes. The Declined Work Recovery System is a standalone tool that helps your service advisor systematically follow up on every declined repair — one of the biggest revenue leaks in independent shops.
How is this different from generic customer service training?
Generic training doesn't cover vehicle intake write-ups, estimate presentation, DVI communication, declined work recovery, or auto repair-specific KPIs. This kit is built from real shop workflows, not adapted from call center training.
Can I use this for multiple service advisors?
Yes. Once purchased, use the templates for every new service advisor or service writer you bring on. No per-user licensing.
