Constant fire drills. Vanishing profit.
You own a shop, but not a real business

Since we have been working with Dre we have improved our gross profit on parts and tires plus labor. This all in a little over a year. We are staffed with the best people we have ever had. Our programs and policies that Dre has helped develop are working great.
Dre knows how to get the most out of people, to stay focused and positive. He gives them an ear to vent, whine, or to be a better employee. His program to have weekly follow up calls is so important to the development of the team members. They feel better talking to him than myself or my General Manager. The positive culture in our shop is really amazing. No personal issues or problem people.
If you are serious about getting your business up to its potential, I highly recommend giving Dre a call!

My only regret about Dre and Launch 3S is that I didn’t have him sooner. Dre’s hands-on approach, his ability to dig into the details, and the way he coaches owners and teams has completely transformed my business. I now have the freedom to step away from the shop and actually enjoy a work-life balance, while still making more money than ever before. Even better, my employees are also earning more than they ever have, which has improved their lives too.
Dre doesn’t just consult from a distance; he becomes part of your operation, helping you find opportunities you didn’t even know were there. Launch 3S isn’t about quick fixes, it’s about building lasting systems and habits that turn a struggling shop into a thriving one.
