    The Collision Repair Step Too Many Shops Skip | Ep. 128

    What does it really take to repair cars the right way, protect your shop from liability, and actually get paid for the work you do? In this power-packed episode of Body Bangin’, I sat down with Alex Stapleton (North American Sales & Marketing Director at Spanesi) to dig into the real ROI of pre-measuring—and why it’s the missing link in too many shops’ processes. We pulled back the curtain on the truths (and myths) around pre-measuring, blueprinting, and how measurement can transform both shop profitability and customer trust. What you’ll learn in this episode: ⚡ Why skipping pre-measurement is costing shops more than they realize  ⚡ How to turn measuring into a billable, documented operation (and add hours to every RO) ⚡ The fastest way to make pre-measurement part of your SOPs without slowing production ⚡ How to use measuring as a marketing tool to show customers you repair cars the right way ⚡ Why training, consistency, and leadership—not just buying equipment—separate successful shops from the rest If you’ve ever wondered whether pre-measurement is “worth the time,” or how to make it a profit driver instead of a headache, this conversation is your playbook. 🎤 Don’t miss this episode with one of the industry’s straightest shooters—Alex Stapleton of Spanesi. 🔔 Subscribe now and never miss an episode that challenges the status quo and helps you grow for real. 📧 Connect with Alex Stapleton:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-stapleton-/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alex.stapleton.5 Support the show For more info on Micki's Marketing Services to help you grow your shop's revenue click here: https://collisioncentermarketing.com Email Micki directly at micki@mickiwoodsmarketing.com Join the Body Bangin' Facebook Group! https://www.facebook.com/groups/989546031854134
