Showerthought: I just billed my 500th hour of aluminum repair this quarter.

The shop software flagged it, and it hit me how much more of this stuff we're seeing now. That's a huge jump from maybe 150 hours in the same period three years back. What's your shop's mix of steel vs. aluminum work looking like these days?

My shop's mix? More like my aluminum allergy.

Was it always this bad for you?

Wow, that's a huge shift. We're seeing the opposite trend, honestly. Our aluminum work has been steady, but steel repairs are actually up for us this year. A lot of it is from older trucks and fleet vehicles needing serious frame work.
