Plan your shop’s opening team
Estimate staffing by role from your service bays and expected monthly cars and calls. No revenue, profit, operating history, or current headcount is needed.
Your team estimate goes here
Add bays, expected cars per month, and expected inbound calls per month to see recommended headcount for four shop roles.
How this estimate works(illustrative assumptions)
A planning month uses 20 open days. Advisors cover up to 8 cars or 20 inbound calls per open day, with the larger role count recommended.
Technicians are modeled at 8 sold hours per open day and 3 sold labor hours per car. Bay capacity assumes one technician per bay.
Porters are modeled at 20 cars per open day; managers at 40 cars per open day.
Positive demand rounds up to whole people. A zero workload returns zero staff. These are first-version planning defaults, not verified industry standards.
