Underquoting Labour Times
Definition
Manual estimation without standardized data causes shops to quote below actual times, resulting in revenue leakage when jobs overrun without additional billing.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 10-20% labour revenue loss per job; typical overrun 0.5-1 hour per repair at AUD 150/hour
- Frequency: Per repair job
- Root Cause: Lack of proprietary or real-world validated labor time data for accurate flat-rate billing
Why This Matters
The Pitch: Vehicle repair shops in Australia 🇦🇺 lose 10-20% of potential labour revenue annually on flat-rate billing. Automation of accurate time standards eliminates underquoting risks.
