Pro-Cut Calculator Computes Rotor Renewing Value

Amid ongoing uncertainty regarding the cost of new brake rotors, Pro-Cut™ has introduced an online return-on-investment (ROI) calculator. This tool allows automotive service providers to accurately determine the revenue potential of using Pro-Cut lathes to repair brake rotors rather than replacing them. Pro-Cut, a Snap-on brand, developed this resource to give shops a clear financial picture of the benefits of renewing rotors.

Key Highlights

  • Pro-Cut offers a free online ROI calculator to determine the profitability of repairing brake rotors.
  • The tool shows that savings from renewing rotors can cover the cost of a Pro-Cut lathe in less than a year.
  • Users can input their shop’s specific data, including brake job volume and revenue, to see personalized financial projections.
  • The system provides a strong business case for independent shops, dealerships, and fleet managers by enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.

A Tool for Financial Clarity

The complimentary Pro-Cut ROI calculator serves as a valuable resource for service providers aiming to understand the financial advantages of investing in rotor-renewing technology. To use the calculator, shop managers input several key data points: the specific Pro-Cut lathe model they are considering, the number of brake jobs performed weekly, the average revenue generated per brake job, the lease term, and any average upcharge for rotor matching services.

Once this information is computed, the user receives a clear projection of the potential revenue that can be realized. According to Jeff Hastings, president of Pro-Cut, this provides a “very clear ROI for dealers and independent service centers.”

Boosting Shop Profitability

The primary advantage highlighted by the calculator is the ability for shops to increase their profitability quickly. By repairing rotors in-house instead of purchasing new ones, businesses can significantly reduce parts costs. The calculations demonstrate that the amount saved on replacement rotors alone can offset the purchase price of a Pro-Cut lathe in under twelve months. This transition from replacing to repairing rotors allows shops to add more profitability to their businesses in a short period.

Benefits for Diverse Operations

The value of renewing rotors extends across different types of automotive operations. While the ROI is evident for retail service centers, the system offers unique advantages for fleet management.

Hastings notes, “For fleets, everything is driven by efficiencies like reducing downtime and saving money on parts.” The Pro-Cut system directly addresses these needs by minimizing the time vehicles are out of service and lowering the expenditure on new components. These efficiencies create an exceptionally strong business case for fleet managers. Furthermore, Pro-Cut’s innovative systems are required or recommended by virtually every major vehicle manufacturer, underscoring their quality and effectiveness in enhancing shop performance.
