Your Parts Department should operate as a profit center. To determine its profit potential, ask yourself the following questions:
- Are you turning away customers because a part or accessory is not in stock or cannot be located?
- Are your technicians waiting at the counter for needed parts instead of finishing a repair?
- Is your CSI (Customer Service Index) not meeting the industry standard?
- Is excessive capital tied up in obsolete or slow-moving inventory?
- Do Parts personnel spend more time hunting for parts than servicing customers?
- Are new model introduction parts difficult to absorb into your Parts Department?
- Does your Parts Department show inconsistent inventory turns?
- Does your Parts Department produce unsatisfactory payback or ROI (return-on-investment)?
