You guys are making it way too hard. Very simple. IF you are paying a person salary over or under the 47k amount you need to pay attention. 

  IF you have your staff on hourly like I do-nothing changes.

IF you are paying someone under 47k, then figure it out by the hour or give them a raise! 

If you pay them more than 47k then work them to death!!!

We dont sell tires but use Discount Tire. We bill out normally with tires as parts and balance on labor. (and we dont track tire sales!!)  

More of a convenience for customer.

Several in our town are putting out “coupons” with free AC check-but only consists of a looksee from the description I see. The others are doing a limited price (looks like about half price just to get them in the door.

I have stuck to a dozen donuts off of my regular price-but not getting alot of checks-but then I dont think many are. Like Tom said-a quick parking lot look will get you beyond the price in most of the I need a free check deals.

Take 5 minutes to see if anything came unplugged, maybe check the pressure with one of those tire type gauges made for A/C, maybe stick a thermometer in the vent….then recommend the appropriate testing (which you charge for).
