Hi Dave, love your content! I'm just wondering, wouldn't it be more accurate to book my schedule by hours instead of dollars? IE i got this Porsche going in my shop with small to medium damage (front bumper + Headlamp Assembly) considering the fact that the headlamp alone cost 5k$ wouldn't that mess with my objectives? i think schedulling by dollars $ works fine with regular cars but it is difficult to use that method when your sales mix include high end cars. What are you thoughts on that?

Hi sorry for the late reply... With the addition of ADAS costs, more and more shops are choosing to use hours instead of dollars. In larger shops it doesn't make a huge difference in workflow either way as long as there is a good mix of work ready to enter production.
