Lost Time at Parts

The parts department must be staffed correctly to provide minimum time loss to Service Technicians. Consider lost Technician time at the rate of $150.00 per hour. This is a realized loss when including parts sales and labor lost from repairing customer cars. It is much more profitable to have Technicians working instead of waiting at the parts counter. Parts volume per man should not exceed $45,000 monthly to maximize technician hours.
