Inaccurate Cost Calculation
Definition
Training units mandate accurate labour time and overhead calculation; failures result in unprofitable quotes and lost margins from decision errors.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 2,000-8,000 per shop/year in lost margins; 1-2 hours misestimation per quote at scale
- Frequency: Per quote/estimate prepared
- Root Cause: Manual estimation without standardized Repair Times manuals or software integration
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Australian auto repair shops lose AUD 2,000-8,000 yearly from bad quoting decisions due to poor time estimation. Automated Repair Times manuals prevent these errors.
