Key #21 – Average RO

We want to know the average dollar amount per RO (repair order) for this key number.

Last month Acme Auto had total sales of $50,000 and serviced 146 vehicles. $50,000 ÷ 146 = $342.46 So, our key number is $342 When looking at this number for a typical independent shop that is solidly profitable, this number will normally run between $500 and $700.  

Total sales: Includes sales of all parts, shop supplies, labor, sublet, and tires.
