Franchised dealerships often struggle with low reimbursement rates from outdated labor benchmarks and unclear state laws. Wooden Automotive Consultants bridges this gap with data-driven strategies and compliant submissions to safeguard your profits. Our Warranty Uplift® services streamline the process, from repair order audits to manufacturer negotiations, ensuring you maximize your retail warranty reimbursement. Let us help you bill accurately and boost your earnings.
Flat-rate OEM schedules often overlook the real output of your technicians. At Wooden Automotive Consultants, we tailor your Warranty Uplift® labor rates using your shop’s actual wage structure, technician classifications, and hours flagged per RO. Instead of relying on generic averages, we apply actual operational metrics to justify higher retail reimbursement. This approach ensures your submissions hold weight against OEM scrutiny and reflect true shop performance. Our goal is not just approval, but sustainable profitability that aligns with your business’s pace and productivity.
Outdated labor figures and generic parts pricing often result in underpaid warranty claims. At Wooden Automotive Consultants, we strengthen your Warranty Uplift® submissions by auditing Warranty Uplift® parts costs and labor times against real-world technician output and completed repair orders.
Our approach ensures each claim is based on operational benchmarks. We format submissions to comply with OEM and state-level standards, helping you avoid costly delays and secure faster, more accurate approvals. Basing your claims on reliable, verifiable data enhances both your financial returns and audit readiness.
Generic labor rate templates not only reduce revenue for dealers but also distort the reality of their operations. With Warranty Uplift® parts and labor fully aligned, your claims become a reliable tool for higher reimbursement. Our process refines labor records, corrects inconsistencies, and builds submissions that stand up to legal review and OEM protocol. The outcome is clear: stronger compliance, more approvals, and higher labor payback. Dealerships also gain leverage when negotiating with manufacturers, equipped with validated data and a proven history of accurate, approved claims.
We also help you maintain consistency across multiple claims cycles, flagging outdated labor values before they’re submitted. This minimizes back-and-forth with OEMs and reinforces your credibility as a compliant and well-documented service provider.
Generic parts claims leave money on the table. At Wooden Automotive Consultants, we specialize in building compliant, high-value Warranty Uplift® parts submissions that reflect your dealership’s real-world pricing and inventory data. Instead of using OEM default rates, we reference actual repair orders, invoice values, and part replacement frequency to ensure every claim is grounded in operational accuracy. Our process identifies overlooked revenue opportunities in template submissions, and our comprehensive management ensures that nothing is missed.
We manage all aspects of the submission process.
You only pay when your dealership successfully receives reimbursement.
Parts submissions are directly linked to your actual invoices and pricing information.
We ensure that every file is prepared to successfully pass legal and OEM reviews.

Our Warranty Uplift® services are designed to support each claim using real-time data on performance, pricing, and parts usage. We help you identify which aspects of your service operations create the most value and ensure that every eligible element is included. This includes analyzing labor efficiency, the frequency of parts usage, and local retail pricing trends. We align your submissions with the complete financial landscape of your service department, resulting in faster approvals, better return on investment (ROI), and improved compliance with both OEM and state regulations.
Delays in warranty processing not only affect reimbursement but also disrupt the entire workflow of the dealership. At Wooden Automotive Consultants, we simplify and accelerate Warranty Uplift® processing through tightly managed coordination, real-time data access, and process transparency. We remove internal delays by aligning OEM expectations with your dealership’s existing documentation processes. Every repair order is quickly matched with the correct formatting and pricing structures, helping you avoid resubmissions and payment gaps. Our streamlined system lets your service department focus on operations while we handle the backend submission tasks.
