paint and fabric protection packages

[btk]

We currently perform about 3 mop and glo applications a day- in service we get paid 50.00 per application that is charged to finance , this requires one full time employee to apply the product, and at 50.00 each after wages for the full time employee the net is only about 50.00 total and finance sells the packages for high gross. I am looking for alternative solutions that some folks might use-I am starting to think that it would be more cost effective from a service department expense structure to forget the 50.00 per application and just charge the employee expense to sales and move on, but of course the service advisors will have to still take care of the customer and should be compensated for that-any ideas?

We charge the sales department $150 for the paint protection packages and $200 for used car details. We then pay the full time person a flat 10% fee per job. Hope this helps.

We handle all the rust and dust in the new car cleanup dept. This is all separate from fixed ops. When the service dept takes the vehicle in for this work we spiff the writers 5-10$ to follow through with the customer.

I guess we have the best of both worlds. Our detailer expense is charged to sales and we charge the sales dept 65.00. We are justifing this as space rent and service advisor expense offset. (detail dept has two stalls in our shop)
