Challenges

Solutions

Trusting us to take the role of CEO, we quickly placed cameras with recording and remote monitoring, inside and out, and put in many other controls. We assessed each employee and had to release five after video recorded them either stealing or working so far out of standard process that they were endangering others. We found kickback programs from parts vendors that were eroding profits. We had to release seven more after they all flunked a drug or background check. We mapped all parts to work orders and those to receipts. We revamped all their tech for shop, office, and mobile, as well as social media and other marketing and advertising. We negotiated an 'Impound Yard' contract with the city which allowed vehicles to be towed there after accidents or malfunctions which later increased revenue by 30%+. We offered referral fees to tow truck drivers in a partnership program that brought us many more vehicles. We revamped every process, created a training program for all employees, and instituted a 401k and bonus program to increase employee satisfaction.
