Technology as well as advancements in vehicle construction and very specific repair procedures are a few examples that drive the need for continuing education for front-line estimators. This course covers current topics such as how to interpret and apply OE repair information to estimates, how to evaluate specialty finishes and identify not-included refinish labor operations and paint material considerations regarding specialty finishes and a close evaluation of what’s included and what’s not when estimating welded-on panels and using line notes to support estimate entries and more. Each subject is accompanied by an interactive exercise where participants can apply the knowledge and practice substantiating their estimate lines.
This course provides new owners, new managers, and potential candidates for management with the basic accounting and financial fundamentals to better understand
what drives overall business performance. Maintaining strong performance isn’t always easy. Improving performance can be very challenging. Attempting either without a solid understanding of the metrics that drive success can be limiting. This foundational course
explores the critical metrics for collision center operations. Participants will gain an improved ability to apply course teachings directly to their business.
Advancing technologies in automotive refinish products and the equipment available today positions collision centers for exceptional Refinishing Area Optimization. However, even with the exceptional refinish products and the best equipment available, throughput poses some unique challenges for today’s collision centers. The MVP Refinish Area Optimization class takes an in-depth look into the key areas that influence paint shop profitability in a negative way. We then look at the practical solutions used by progressive collision centers to improve throughput performance and enable vehicles to flow smoothly through the production process. Participants will learn these foundational principles and how to address the key contributing factors that drain production efficiencies and squash profits in our Refinish areas.
Collision parts sales represent 40% or more of a typical collision center’s sales volume and are critical to achieving delivery and cycle time goals. Given this contribution to the repair process and profitability, parts must be managed with structure, organization, and critical timing included in solid business processes. This course will focus on the key processes of ordering,receiving, storage, delivery, and returns for collision center parts. Additionally, this course identifies the key business management practices as well as lean principles for value stream management, work standardization, and ongoing improvement. 5S Workplace Organization for collision parts will be covered to introduce best practices and improvement techniques to ensure good handling of parts inventory.
Managing production in a collision center is a full-contact responsibility requiring focused attention. There are a lot of moving parts in this dynamic environment. Just getting by is costly. Maximizing resources benefits the entire staff, business, the customer experience and the businesses market position. Learn critical ways to think about production resources including; technician efficiency and skill-set, current production capacity, becoming proactive instead of reactive and logical work distribution are a few examples of topics in this 2-day course. Participants will experience exercises focused on production scenarios in order to apply the course learnings. You will learn key areas of focus for maximizing production potential. When applied these practices commonly translate to increased revenue, improved customer experience and greater profits.

This course covers current topics such as how to interpret and apply OE repair information to estimates, how to evaluate specialty finishes and identify not-included refinish labor operations and paint material considerations regarding specialty
finishes and a close evaluation of what’s included and what’s not when estimating welded-on panels
and using line notes to support estimate entries and more. Each subject is accompanied by an interactive exercise where participants can apply the knowledge and practice substantiating their
estimate lines.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT SERIES LEVEL 1
Getting the best results from your team takes management and leadership skills. The sad truth is that most managers acquire these skills by accident, through trial and error. Or worse, they continue blindly, figuratively beating their head against the wall, applying brute force tactics that just don’t work. These skills can be learned. The best leaders are constantly working to improving their skills. From the first-time manager to the seasoned leader, all can learn better ways to manage and lead others.
With that in mind, this course provides owners and managers with the opportunity to assess and strengthen their management and leadership abilities, while learning proven skills, tools, and approaches to moving others forward throughout their organization and getting the results needed.
