		<title>The Level Testing Sales Amplifier: A Tiered System for Auto Repair Diagnostics [RR 1070]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Eric Svedberg breaks down a smarter, more profitable way to price diagnostic work—what he calls the Level Testing Sales Amplifier. At its core, the system tackles a problem most repair shops quietly accept: testing is often a loss leader. When technicians are tied up diagnosing complex issues, shops miss out on parts sales. A-level technicians can earn less than their B-level counterparts doing routine work, and the rising cost of software and tools goes unpaid.

Svedberg reframes the conversation by using the word “testing” instead of “diagnostics,” a term he believes is clearer and more intuitive for customers. Testing implies a process, not a guarantee—setting expectations from the start.

The Level Testing system uses a tiered structure tied to the shop’s base labor rate:

Level One – Basic Testing: Single, constant, duplicable issues (like a check engine light that’s always on).


Level Two – Intermediate Testing: Multiple concerns or intermittent problems.


Level Three – Pandora’s Box: Highly complex vehicles, often previously misdiagnosed or unsuccessfully repaired elsewhere.


Level Four – “Grandmother Rate”: Disaster cars involving severe electrical damage, corrosion, or major disassembly.


While the levels are designed as an internal framework, Svedberg finds transparency with customers increases trust and buy-in. Service advisors are coached to remove Level Three from most conversations upfront, steer customers toward Level Two testing as the norm, and clearly explain that testing fees are for time spent—not credited toward repairs. For true Level Three cases, advisors frame the value honestly: if it were simple, another shop would have already fixed it.

Svedberg emphasizes that the system is easy to train and implement—often within a week—by focusing on quick wins with top advisors. Its simplicity improves communication, closes the tech efficiency gap, and can be applied beyond diagnostics to services like module programming and ADAS calibration.

Every decision, he says, must pass the test: Is it good for the car? Good for the customer? Good for the shop?

					<description><![CDATA[Scott Brown shares his insights on key challenges in the automotive aftermarket, including ADAS, EV maintenance, and industry adoption.

ADAS Calibration and Liability
Scott emphasizes the importance of proper ADAS calibration, required by manufacturers after certain repairs. Skipping it exposes shops to liability, and he advises refusing jobs if required calibration is declined. Despite its necessity, the industry adoption is low.

EV Tooling and Safety
While basic shop tools suffice for many EV services, high-voltage work demands safety training and PPE. 

Looking Forward
Using his aviator metaphor of “runway,” Scott stresses that shops must evolve, specializing in ADAS and EV maintenance to stay competitive as EVs become the future of mobility.

Scott’s insights make one thing clear: the automotive industry is changing fast, and shops that embrace ADAS and EV expertise now will be the ones leading the market tomorrow. Staying informed, trained, and prepared isn’t just smart—it’s essential for long-term success.

		<title>The Silent Profit Killer: Inconsistent Processes [THA 452]</title>

					<description><![CDATA[Too many shops rely on inconsistent, informal methods of “this is how we did it yesterday.” The result? Fluctuating outcomes, missed opportunities, and daily frustration. Imagine four technicians completing a Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) in four different ways, which can be confusing for staff, stressful for owners, and costly for customers. The solution is a unified process that everyone follows to deliver consistent results. “Without systems, the owner becomes the system.” Every decision rests on the owner’s shoulders, trapping them in the daily grind.  Leaders must shift from being “needed” to being “required”: their role is to create the environment for success, not micromanage.

Systems Win Wars: As Carm Capriotto said, strong systems are the foundation of a profitable and enjoyable business.
Breaking Free from Chaos: Inconsistent methods (“this is how we did it yesterday”) lead to stress, missed opportunities, and fluctuating results. 
The Owner’s Dilemma: Without systems, the owner becomes the system. Matt Wagg’s injury showed the necessity of trusting people and processes.
Profit Through Process: Profitability is tied directly to defined, repeatable steps. Systems also eliminate business “friction” and make operations easier.
Key Benefits of Documented Processes: Faster, smoother training &#038; onboarding. Clear accountability for both staff and owners. Ongoing continuous improvement to adapt and grow
Empower Your Team: Trust the people you’ve hired. Give them processes and training, then step back. Empowered teams drive success, customer satisfaction, and owner freedom.

Takeaway: Strong systems aren’t just about profit; they create happier teams, better customer experiences, and sustainable growth.
