Hit 200 car repairs this month and it broke my brain
I work at a small shop in Phoenix and we just crossed 200 repairs in October, double our usual pace. Turns out a bunch of microchip delays pushed jobs from summer into fall and I'm drowning in estimates. Anyone else seeing a weird spike in volume right now?

That 200 number is wild for a small shop, @thomas_martinez probably hasn't seen the backlog of Ford and Chevy transmissions stacking up like I have. Are you guys seeing a similar split where older model repairs are clogging the schedule more than the newer stuff? Because I've got a dozen 2015-2019 trucks sitting here waiting on basic sensors that were supposed to be in stock months ago lol.

Read that the chip shortage is still causing weird ripple effects for some shops, not just new cars anymore. Are you seeing certain brands get hit harder with the delayed parts?
