    I know a group of shops that pays each advisor a dollar for every valid email address they get. They don’t have a problem getting email addresses.

    What gets sent to CARFAX largely depends on what software you are using. I’ve heard of different data being provided based on the contract the software company has with CARFAX.

    In Protractor’s case, we send the date, repair order number, VIN, plate, state/province, service facility name (address and phone number), odometer, year, make, model, sub model, engine and the title of the job.

    We do not send labor detail, parts detail, dollar amounts or any customer personal information.

    If you look at your total labor sales for last year and the number of hours you sold in that year then you could forecast what dollars and hours you need (want) in the upcoming year. This would allow you to figure out what rate you will require to hit that number.

    I’d rather not post their names in a forum without their permission. Email me directly if you would like some references and I will definitely round some up for you.

    You could also upgrade your Mitchell Software to Mitchell Enterprise and have that functionality.

    As a web designer, I agree. You should own your own domain. I used to do it the way that has been described in this post as a way of being convenient but I quickly saw the problems it could cause.

    I’ve since transferred all domains I had registered to their proper owners and all new sites I develop that need a domain get registered to the proper owner. I even walk them through the process if they need help doing so.

    If something ever happens to your web developer make sure you own the domain and the have full access to the hosting provider as well.

    Do you have a signed authorization and documented approval for any work you have done? If so, take them to court.
