How to Run a Data-Driven Auto Repair Shop [WEBINAR]

KUKUI Administrator • August 28, 2019

Everyone talks about letting data drive the decision of your business but being strictly “Data-Driven” has a few blind spots. Being “Data-Informed” means that data is a key input for your decision making among others. You need to use the data to build a deeper understanding of the behavior that’s behind the data.   Early trends rarely show up in the data. Don’t be shy to trust your instincts. If you look at a problem from first principles, the eventual impact would be much more obvious.


In this webinar, Jimmy Lea will be joined by Stéphane Grabina - Owner at Excluservice, Sunil Patel - CEO of Tekmetric, Bryan Gossel - Owner of BG Auto, and Prasanth Chilukuri - Co-Founder at Tekmetric to discuss how to find the metrics to help you make the right decisions about your shop.



They will show you how to stay on top of your shop performance using data about profitability, gross sales, and even which neighborhood brings in your best customers.
