Frequently Asked Questions
What profit margin should an auto repair shop make?
Healthy shops net 10–20% after paying the owner a salary. Gross profit targets: 60–70% on labor and 40–50% on parts, blended across a typical 55/45 labor-parts mix.
How do I measure profit per repair order?
RO revenue minus tech pay for the job, parts cost, and shop supplies. Track average RO value ($350–600 for independents) and gross profit per RO monthly — they are the shop's vital signs.
What quietly kills repair shop profit?
Comebacks (free rework), unbilled diagnostic time, stale inventory, and discounting to fill bays. A 3% comeback rate can erase a third of net profit.
