Opus IVS has identified three primary “profit killers” affecting modern independent workshops: lost hours spent on unbillable research, the “parts canon” approach of replacing components based solely on fault codes, and the use of generic data that leads to comebacks.
Reclaiming workshop productivity
The transition from mechanical repairs to complex electrical diagnostics often results in a discrepancy between the hours worked and the hours billed. To address this, Opus IVS provides Brand Specific Mastertech Support and remote programming services. These tools are designed to assist technicians in identifying root causes more efficiently, ensuring vehicles move off the ramp faster.
Reducing diagnostic errors
Using generic scan tools can provide incorrect information, leading to expensive repeat visits. By utilising OEM-level data and expert guidance, workshops can avoid the unnecessary replacement of functional components.
The company will be sharing further methods for workshops to reclaim lost hours over the coming weeks. Technicians looking to improve diagnostic profitability can explore the Opus IVS solution or opt-out of further communications via the provided unsubscribe link.
