Business Solutions

California Color Source is focused on Impacting what matters most to the bottom line of our clients. People, processes, estimatics and bench-marking results are areas we focus the most attention while providing ongoing management coaching and mentoring.

People & Processes

Attracting, Hiring and developing the right people has become increasingly more competitive and complex. That's why a third-party perspective and the sharing of best-practices can assist with this process.

Providing guidelines and procedures for your team ensures everyone is on the same page and working towards the same results.

CCS Performance Group

Launching Q1 of 2023 is a client performance group with an outside facilitator focusing on best-practices around people, marketing, repair processes, recruiting/retaining, accounting and leadership.

Enhancing Estimatics

The most overlooked opportunity in the collision repair business is properly charging for the work you perform. CCS has developed a program of training modules to educate your team and improve profitability by focusing on what impacts most, Labor Sales. Through classroom, 1:1 coaching and estimate auditing our goal is to increase a minimum of 1-2 hours per R.O. on both Refinish and Body Labor. This is achieved by using O.E.M. repair procedures, understanding estimating databases and not-included operations.
