Are you ready to SUpercharge your shop?

At Level 6, our mission is to bring your business to
the next level

Our Mission

Every auto shop is different and in order to get on the right path toward success, we need to analyze where you’re at right now. We work with shop owners and managers to figure this out and dial in on the goals needed to achieve long-term growth.

Our method focuses on 6 key areas of business with the ultimate goal of achieving foolproof, automated operations for your shop.

1. Overall Business Health

We’ll work with you to accurately measure results, gather information, and evaluate key performance indicators to determine exactly where your shop stands in terms of overall success. This practice is a constant work in progress and becomes easier with time as we focus in on the needs of your specific business.

2. Financial Success

If your business is financially unsound, you’re setting yourself up to fail. We’ll look closely at your financial statements and make assessments to set you up for financial success. How you charge, how you pay, and of course your expenses are the keys to focusing on your business. We have tools to help you analyze these numbers weekly and adjust your processes accordingly.

3. Efficiency and Productivity

While car count is top of mind for every shop owner, it’s only important if you can successfully handle and maximize those vehicles. To achieve the productivity you need to grow, but efficiently get there, we’ll work with you to manage your workflow and scheduling, so you can coach your team and technicians to perform at their best.

4. Marketing Strategy

The importance of branding your business to your local community cannot be underestimated. Through advertising, digital marketing, social media, and outreach, you have the opportunity to attract and keep customers while staying connected to your local community. Our consulting services will help lay out those opportunities and coach you to make the most of your marketing efforts.

5. Leadership and Team Building

Having the right team in place is critical to your business. Whether it's 1 employee or 20, your team should be working together to provide the best service and customer experience, and ultimately drive your business. As the leader of your shop, this starts with you.

6. Optimized Operations

Our ultimate goal is to leave you with the systems in place to achieve automated, foolproof operations for your business. Together, we’ll create and refine a customized Standard of Operating Procedures, designed as a roadmap for success for you and your team. By putting the right pieces in place, you’ll be able to move away from managing day-to-day issues and begin enjoying the freedom of a well-oiled business model.

Tim Shaffer

Owner, Dale’s Service Center
Davenport, Iowa

Tim Shaffer is a second-generation owner of Dale’s Service Center in Davenport, Iowa established by Tim’s father in 1977.  Tim grew up working in the shop, starting out as the tire kid, moving through the ranks as a technician, service advisor and eventually purchasing the business in 2007.  In 2008, Tim expanded the business with a remodel to the shop and office, converting it into a 4 bay shop doing well over 1M in sales annually.  

“Because it is such a small footprint we really need to be efficient and I owe it to having a great team in place who really wants to get the job done right the first time for all of our customers.”

 Since 2000, Tim has trained with numerous coaches and training companies, but knew from the onset that he wanted to become a business coach himself. He loves exploring the efficiency opportunities, navigating the day-to-day challenges, and now relies on that experience to help other shop owners with marketing, expenses, KPIs, labor rates, and personnel issues.

 In Tim’s experience, building a business can be tough and he knew there had to be a better way. There are too many shop owners struggling to make ends meet, working more and more hours, and getting further behind. Through L6-ASC consulting, Tim is helping owners and managers get their business on track, so work can become a source of pride and fun for everyone involved!
