The method

How the transmission comeback cost is worked out.

A comeback rate is the share of jobs that return for the same complaint. On a rebuild, each one is paid for twice: the labour and parts to do it again, and a bay that cannot take the next paying job while it is done.

  • Comebacks a month = rebuilds a month × comeback rate.
  • Comeback cost a month = comebacks a month × average cost of a comeback.
  • Comeback cost a year = comeback cost a month × 12.
  • Share of rebuild revenue = comeback cost ÷ (rebuilds × average ticket).
  • Paid rebuilds it equals = comeback cost a year ÷ average ticket.
  • Bay-hours to recover = comebacks a month × bay hours a comeback takes × 12.

Stop paying for the same transmission twice.
