• A significant drop in Hours per RO in November, likely linked to the increase in demand for seasonal tire replacement
• An upward trajectory in ELR as the year progressed, especially in 2025
• A significant drop in Profit per Customer Pay RO in November, again, likely linked to seasonal tire replacement
• Stores that have a tool that creates efficiencies for the technician almost uniformly perform significantly better, across all metrics, than those that don’t.
