Profit & performance management for auto repair shops

Torvana is the AI platform that tracks shop data against goals, identifies the highest-value opportunities for improvement, and manages technician and advisor performance to grow your profit.

Torvana AI

Hey — I'm Torvana AI. Ask me anything about your shop's numbers or your team. I'll pull the real figures, break down what they mean, and help you decide what to do next.

Demo is read only.

From goal to follow-through, Torvana keeps the shop growing.

Most systems stop after showing you a number. Torvana continues through prioritization, coaching, manager action, and the performance that follows.

01
Set realistic goals

Torvana uses recent performance to suggest realistic goals for the shop, each advisor, and each technician.

Billed hours

Labor hours billed to customers on closed repair orders.

How it's calculated: Add up the labor hours on every closed repair order. Only hours billed to the customer count. Unbilled diagnostic time does not.

What should I say to Bryson?
Say it straight, and keep the focus on the work, not blame:
Pulled Bryson's week and his coaching history
“Bryson, you billed 35 hours this week against a 42-hour goal. At 42 that is 7 more hours, $1,057 of labor at the shop's $151 effective labor rate. Let's look at three of this week's tickets where you did the diagnosis and see what was billed for that time.”
Bryson has not been coached on billed hours before. Under goal 6 of the last 6 weeks: the diagnostic time is the thread to pull.
When you've talked, log the 1-1 on Bryson's Coaching tab. I'll check next week whether his billed hours moved.
