View this email in your browser <!– How to Benefit from Parts Autonomy Starts in Half an Hour After SGI hosted the last two webinars on the RPS / Parts Autonomy Program, my inbox—and the Facebook SAAR Forum—absolutely blew up with comments and concerns. I spoke with Ciaran about the feedback, and he openly acknowledged that his team didn’t do the best job explaining the program. In fairness, that may be because some aspects of the rollout are still evolving. The Good News There is a proven path to success. Norm Bruneau has been working with the Parts Autonomy Program in Manitoba for the past couple of years and has achieved excellent results. The key takeaway? Shops that have the right information make better decisions—and see significantly better outcomes. Why Parts Autonomy Is a Win Let’s put this into perspective: Under the previous system, SGI achieved roughly 13% RPS, and shops were required to use recycled or aftermarket parts whenever they were available. If you didn’t at least attempt to use those parts, you were penalized – even if they weren’t a good fit for the job. Under the new Parts Autonomy Program, you’re in the driver’s seat. You can choose which parts make the most sense for each repair As long as you meet the 15% RPS threshold, you’re compliant Less chasing parts that don’t work Less paperwork More control and less administrative frustration Learn How to Make It Work for You To help you get the most value out of Parts Autonomy, Norm Bruneau will be hosting a special Lunch & Learn webinar where he’ll break down exactly how the program works—and how to use it to your shop’s advantage. Before any small town shops complain that this program will not work for them please know that Norm’s shop is located in Saint Claude, Manitoba population 625 people. You’ll learn how to: Reduce administrative time Make confident parts decisions Increase parts profitability Clearly understand SGI’s expectations Join Us 📅 Tuesday, May 5 ⏰ 12:00 noon This is your opportunity to get clear answers, practical guidance, and real-world insight from someone who’s already seeing success with the program.
