About the Auto Shop Growth Simulator
Model a year of repair-order growth at your average RO to see revenue build.
It's built for directional planning: change any assumption and watch the whole projection move, the way a seasoned operator pressure-tests a plan before committing capital. Everything is computed live in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.
How the Auto Shop Growth Simulator Works
The model takes 3 assumptions and returns 3 headline metrics plus a full breakdown. Here is exactly what goes in and what comes out — no black box.
The Inputs
| Assumption | Example value |
|---|---|
| Repair orders / month | 250 |
| Growth / month | 3% |
| Average repair order | $450 |
Worked Example

The Operator's Read
Average RO — through recommended maintenance and inspections — usually grows revenue faster and cheaper than chasing more cars. Fill the bays you have before adding more.
Assumptions & Limitations
- •The model is deterministic: it projects your inputs forward with clear arithmetic, not a Monte-Carlo or probabilistic forecast. It shows one scenario at a time — run several to bracket a range.
- •Defaults are illustrative benchmarks, not your business. Replace every field with your real numbers before drawing conclusions.
- •It abstracts away taxes, financing, seasonality, and one-off events unless a field explicitly captures them. Treat the output as a directional estimate.
- •This is an educational tool, not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Validate real decisions with a qualified professional.
