R.L. O’Connor & Associates is packing this spring full of training options for technicians and services advisors. Training classes are online, and focus on increasing profits in today’s repair shops.

Training is put on through the company’s Automotive Shop Management Academy and Service Advisor Academy divisions. One class, Technician Time Management, will provide methods to overcome the largest profit leak in the automotive repair industry: the sale of technician labor.

According to R.L. O’Connor, participants in Technician Time Management will learn methods to improve technician and shop productivity and efficiency, evaluate the technician’s use of time, to improve the estimating process, identify and correct production problems, increase labor gross profits and legitimately sell each technician’s diagnostic time profitably.

This workshop also includes methods of how to determine your shop labor inventory, determine technician and shop productivity and efficiency, identify and correct production problem areas, improve the scheduling and dispatch process, improve technician documentation of the workshop copy of the repair order and sell diagnostic time legitimately and profitably, thereby increasing gross profit through increased billable hours.

One in-classroom training is for service advisors, and the company says participants will go through new interactive training and exercises focused on new sales strategies and skills. It will focus on turning more telephone calls into appointments, and closing more service sales.
