That is 13.8% of your annual sales sitting in places your P&L does not show you. None of it requires a single additional repair order.
Same as a vehicle teardown: the visible damage was never the whole story. Each line below is money already inside your business. The severity code is how much it is costing you, not how hard it is to fix.
You are posted at $54. Nine shops inside your ZIP publish rates between $59 and $66. Every flag hour you turn is billed below what your own market already supports.
You are collecting in 38 days. Shops your size collect in 24. That 14‑day gap is cash you have already spent on parts and payroll and are waiting on a carrier to give back.
31 cars on the lot at roughly $3,400 each in parts and labor you have already paid out. That is separate from what the carriers owe you — it is money sitting in sheet metal that has not delivered yet.
You are holding 22% on parts. Shops your size hold 28%. The usual causes are uncredited returns, cores that never came back, and price mismatches between the estimate and the invoice.
County records show 4400 Central in your name since 2019. A collision facility is unusually good at this — booths, compressed air, frame anchoring and electrical all reclassify to shorter lives.
We counted 42 repairs in the last 12 months on vehicles whose OEM procedure calls for a calibration, with no matching line on the invoice. Carriers push back on these constantly — but you cannot be short paid on a line you never billed.
Your detailers and your office staff appear to be rated at the body technician code. Misclassification compounds — and premium overpaid in prior years is generally recoverable, not just fixable going forward.
Small on its own. It is on this list because it takes one phone call and it recurs every month you do not make it.
Your state treats materials and painting labor differently than the state your bookkeeping template came from. Shops get this wrong in both directions — overpaying now, or building audit exposure for later.
The vertical mark is where the middle of the pack sits. This is the part your accountant cannot tell you, because they only ever see one shop’s books.
You already know this sequence — it is how you run a car through your own shop. You tear it down to find the damage, you blueprint the repair, then somebody does the work.
