Such as fixed coverage, ours = 58.8%

Gross labor profit, as a percent of sales, ours = 66.83%

I believe these numbers are too low.
What do you think?

Fixed Coverage 62.5%
Hard to keep up with everyones expenses, so this floats around some.

We are import so things are a bit different but I think the Gross labor profit is low.

To many "A" tech's and not enough "C or D" tech's? Or are the job's not being dispatched to the correct tech's?

MovingForward,

You raise an important observation.

I realize it will vary from market to market but what is an average pay rate for A, B, C, D techs?

[MovingForward]

In our area it varies greatly from store to store. I know "A" tech's as high as $25/hour and I know "D" tech's as low as $14/hour.

My store my highest paid "A" is $21 and my lowest paid "D" is $17.

Our door rate is $95.00
