We see this on the big repairs/recalls at my work. The first couple stores/techs end up eating a ton of ours. As they do 2-3 they get closed to job code time, then 10+ they are under. They find the right tools to get stuff done, and know the issues in advance. In some cases, we will have the same tech do every one for the entire store/travel to other locations to do them at locations that only have 2-3 in their AOR(cheaper for the other store to pay the techs travel, hotel, etc than eating 100+ hours)
