The MSO Playbook
5 Strategies for Accelerating MSO Growth
With the profit boom of the COVID-19 pandemic now in the rear-view mirror, the automotive refinish industry has mostly returned to pre-COVID conditions. Gone are the mouth-watering, double-digit labor rate increases that body shops enjoyed. Work in progress (WIP) rates have declined. Insurance claim counts have sharply dropped, as a result of miles driven flatlining. And fewer vehicles available for repair, coupled with softened revenues across the industry, has prompted shops to work harder to obtain repair jobs — all while vehicles continue growing in complexity.

When investing in capital equipment, MSOs should look for a paint booth manufacturer that offers dedicated support to MSOs, as the desires of an MSO are greatly different than those of a single shop. With multiple locations and a variety of equipment, MSOs need a paint booth manufacturer that provides reliable support for maintenance and replacement parts. Likewise, a paint booth manufacturer should be adept at growth planning — capable of helping MSOs design shops to maximize space, ensure optimal workflow and reduce bottlenecks.
