Week ending 15 Mar 2026
Sales hit $86,115 with a $10,394 net profit, but the shop is paying more for labour than it bills — a red flag that is quietly eating into an otherwise solid week. Repair cost per job also crept up, driven by rising parts spend on in-scope work.

ASK PULSE · THE FIRST QUESTION
Ask about sales, labour or costs. Pulse brings the answer, the comparison and the chart together.
Here, one question explains how the shop’s labour performed and what changed from the week before.
Follow the conversationHow did labour perform last week?
