Something that seems to be a point of uncertainty when chatting to DPs is how to determine the Gross Profit (GP) on productive workshop staff.
I have included a basic calculation principle that I have used over the years. It has proven to be pretty accurate from a budgeting and performance management perspective.
The “factor” that I have used is how efficient a tech should be in terms of hours sold versus hours worked. Your factor may be different depending on your franchise.
Working days exclude SA public holidays and weekends.
All the items in yellow are inputs and the items in blue are calculations.
As you can see, the effect on your bottom line is massive if you have vacancies for productive staff, inefficient productive staff and labour rates that are below what the market will accept.
If you want the excel template spreadsheet so that you can insert the inputs that are relevant to your dealership, then please send me your email address via WhatsApp on 0827761887 and I will send it to you.

Call it a job well done or maybe more of a masterclass performance. This is some of the ways to describe CMH Honda Hatfield’s recently winning the overall Honda Dealer of the Year award.
The Eastvaal Motor Group has added Kia and Renault to its existing portfolio in Secunda and revamped its Ford and Mazda dealership as part of the process.
The critical need for trained staff in automotive retail dealerships is underscored by the increasing number of new and returning vehicle brands entering the South African market and establishing trading networks across the country.
