I would bet good dollars that the shop is one of the least profitable parts of the business.
In fact...I would to go so far as to say it is a break even necessity to operate a dealership in some cases.
Wrong.
I worked for a JD dealership for a couple years - within that company, every shop made money, almost all parts made money and sales departments hovered around 3-5% margin. I was VERY surprised myself when I saw those numbers.
