HOW WE GET YOU Results

01. Clarify Messaging & Rates

02. The Floor Efficiency Engine

02. The Floor Efficiency Engine

 Most diesel shops overcomplicate their counter workflow or undercharge for labor. We strip it back to what actually drives profitability—fixing your parts markups, restructuring your service advisor objection scripts, and adjusting your door rates to match your true capacity.

 We build out your custom 12-Month Shop Roadmap and install automated tracking sheets directly onto your floor. This creates a consistent, predictable flow of high-margin fleet maintenance contracts and maximizes your current bay utilization without forcing you to hire more mechanics.

 Automated technician recruiting funnels, digital advisor training portals, and weekly performance scorecards run in the background. This stabilizes your day-to-day operations—converting your chaotic shop floor into a self-sustaining business without you needing to stand in the bays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at peter@ascendconsulting.help if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 If your repair shop operates with fewer than 2 bays or you are doing under $250,000 in gross revenue, this program is not a fit for you yet. Please keep listening to the podcast for free tools. 


But if you operate 4 to 15+ bays and feel trapped on the floor, we can help."


We specialize strictly in heavy-duty commercial repair operations. If your shop handles Class 8 fleets, light-duty pickup performance, agricultural equipment, or independent mixed-vehicle repair, our frameworks are proven to work for your team. 


 Expect zero generic corporate theories or boring slide decks. We get hands-on. We look directly at your actual parts invoices, your flat-rate tech logs, and your service counter scripts to fix what is broken.


 The total investment for the 90-Day Diesel Shop Turnaround System is a single payment of $6,000.


We do not hide our pricing behind a 60-minute sales pitch. We charge a flat fee because we don't sell generic information or pre-recorded videos—we are doing deep business analysis, building your advisor scripts, and giving you direct, priority access to our team.


If you look at this as an expense, it is expensive. If you look at it as an investment, it is incredibly cheap.


To hire a full-time service advisor manager, an in-house recruiter, and a corporate operations consultant would easily cost your shop upwards of $180,000 a year. We install those exact operational frameworks into your shop for $6,000.
