STRATA for independent auto repair shops. The five operating gaps that cost shops recoverable repair-order revenue every month.

Platforms at v1: Mitchell 1, Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, AutoLeap, ALLDATA Manage

The operating gaps

Named in operator language. One paragraph each.

  1. 01

    Service-writeup workflow at intake

    The service writer logs the customer concern, looks up the VIN, builds the estimate, gets authorization, and updates the customer mid-job. Document Processing closes the cycle inside the shop-management system.

  2. 02

    Recommended-service follow-up after the original visit

    The technician recommended a brake job, an alignment, and tires at the original visit. The customer authorized the most urgent item only. The followup sequence on the deferred items determines whether they come back to your shop or someone else.

  3. 03

    Dormant-customer reactivation against the database

    Past customers who have not returned in twelve to twenty-four months sit in the SMS unworked. Maintenance, state-inspection, and seasonal-service offers reactivate against the dormant book.

  4. 04

    Inbound call response during peak service hours

    The morning rush hits the service phone at the same time the bay is full. Calls roll to voicemail and the customer books at the chain across the street. Speed-to-Lead routing closes the gap.

  5. 05

    Reporting on ARO (average repair order), hours per RO, and recommended-service capture rate

    ARO by writer, hours billed per RO, and recommended-service authorization rate stitch from the shop-management system and the technician productivity reports.

The Revenue Audit

Know your specific number before you commit to anything.

The Revenue Audit for independent auto repair shops is a fifteen-minute working session against a shop-management export and a recent month of inbound call data. We calculate recoverable revenue across recommended-service follow-up conversion, dormant-customer reactivation, and inbound call capture. The retainer is sized against the figure. Honest no on the call.

  1. A specific dollar figure of recoverable revenue, calculated against your own data.
  2. A vertical-specific gap diagnosis named in operator language, not marketing language.
  3. A reference conversation with an operator in your vertical or an adjacent one.
  4. A retainer sized against the figure, or an honest no on the call.

Insurance, HVAC, and dental are our installation wedges at v1. We accept Revenue Audits in auto repair and run them against the same diagnostic; the engagement timeline is set during the call.

Proof

Across the audits the firm has run, the typical recoverable figure on a $1M to $5M book is $30,000 to $90,000 per year. Your figure is specific to your book.

STRATA is quiet about engagements in flight.

References are matched to your vertical and available on the audit call. Case studies are published when the customer is ready to be named. What we can tell you: the audit call will include a reference conversation with an operator in your vertical or an adjacent one.

Operational questions

What operators ask before the audit call.

What shop-management platforms does STRATA integrate with at v1?+
Mitchell 1, Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, AutoLeap, and ALLDATA Manage. Ask on the audit call about other platforms.
Does this work for a 4-bay shop?+
Layer 1 is meaningful at four bays with monthly RO count above one hundred fifty.
Will my service writers need a new system?+
No. The integration sits between the inbound channels and your shop-management system.
How fast does recommended-service follow-up produce results?+
First cadence fires in week two; recommended-service authorization rate lifts inside the first sixty days.
What does the prospect bring to the audit call?+
A shop-management export covering ROs and customers, a recent month of inbound call data, and the recommended-service capture report. Fifteen minutes is enough.

How the engagement is governed

Three structural promises. All on the record.

The Honest No

If the Revenue Audit shows the recoverable revenue does not justify the retainer, the firm says so on the audit call. STRATA is not the right fit for every business in a vertical, and we name that directly.

The Pause Clause

If the recovered revenue does not exceed the monthly retainer within the first 60 days of deployment, the engagement pauses until the gap is closed.

Month-to-month

The first 90 days of any STRATA engagement is month-to-month. Long-term commitments are earned by operational performance, not signatures.
