Lets
get right to the meat of the
subject- How much cha-ching
is in PDR this year?
You’ve got hail repair,
dealer PDR, Auction PDR, Rental
Fleet PDR, Retail PDR, and
a whole host of other PDR
Market segments that bring
a pretty penny to the bottom
line.
So, how much?
I can make this article really
short and sum it up in a one-word
answer:
A LOT.
But that wouldn’t make
for a nice bathroom read,
would it?
So I will develop this thought
out a bit more since I know
my readers appreciate more
gravy with their mashed potatoes.
Hail Repair techs are all
over the board this year.
Storms early in the spring
were bringing anywhere from
$600 per to over $4000, so
it is wide and broad in the
hail world.
Retail techs are reporting
strong pricing with a bit
of an upward tick. Good news
for those who like the get-paid–daily
program.
Dealer Techs have reported
decent earnings, with a solid
price floor and strong used
car sales, providing good
volume. That is good news
when we thought we might have
an off-sale car forecast.
Rental business is booming
since the travel business
is burgeoning. The work is
involved we’ve heard
with sizeable damage, but
the rentals seem to be making
money and are paying somewhat
on time.
Auction PDR is also strong,
since repos are way up and
lease returns are bringing
top dollar, benefiting from
solid recon. Many PDR auction
techs are seeing well over
$1000 a day, and I know of
several whom are netting over
$3000 a day at the auctions.
Insane, huh.
To recap, we are seeing VERY
strong earnings and revenue
in PDR in the first quarter
of 2007, and this is looking
like we will have an exceptional
year for PDR bucks.
Oh yeah,...There
are other sub market segments,
but I wont report those income
levels, since those niches
are nice kept secrets….:)
Happy Pushing!
