Service information resources offer more data, faster

Q: Service information systems cost money. Should I add an “information access fee” to my repair orders to help offset costs?

A: That’s a business decision that’s best left up to you in terms of your overall cost structure. One thing you may want to consider is that using a service information system properly should help improve your shop’s overall productivity. That alone should more than offset the cost of the system you purchase.
