Yes, I agree – free inspection
I get to see the car every three months, customer is required to perform all factory recommended maintenance -with me – I look over the car and make recommendations to prevent breakdowns, they do the work with me-
(every six months is rotate and balance, every six months or 6k miles synthetic oil change, every 3months 3k conventional oil change) Miss an inspection or have it or maintenance work done elsewhere and repairs revert to standard warranty (ours is 3 years or 36k mikes on new parts)
Extended warranty company’s require the customer to maintain the vehicle.
They do the maintenance and repairs with us to maintain the warranty – we do the free inspections every three months
I’m going to have my attorney look over the magnuson moss warranty act.

It could work if you had a well written set of conditions. Like:
only the current owner, non transferable. Must bring in every 3 months for inspection (now you can pre- book appointments. Must maintain the car as per factory recommendations. Must perform all recommended maintenance and repairs with you, not valid if any repair or maintenance work done else where with out approval from you (out of town) and so on.
Could help fill the bays. No more cheap parts, only the best go on cars now. I like it.

labor gross profit should be around 70%
If you pay tech $25.00 per hour, divide by .30
or $83.35
It wont be enough if techs are not efficient (billing 8-10 hours a day)
