Welcome back to the Leadfoot Automotive Podcast, where we help shop owners and operators leverage technology to earn more and stress less. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the biggest challenges facing collision repair shops—paint and material costs—and how negotiating with insurance companies can feel like an uphill battle.
Our guest is Yanni Koutmos, co-founder of Eagle MMS, a software solution designed to help shops accurately track and invoice their paint and body materials, ensuring they get paid what they’re owed. Yanni brings a unique perspective—starting as a technician, seeing firsthand the financial struggles shops face, and developing a tool that simplifies and streamlines invoicing.
In this episode, we’ll cover:
✅ The 101 on paint material costs
✅ How accurate, itemized invoicing can increase your profits
✅ The challenges of working with insurance companies and how to negotiate smarter
✅ Why many shops are leaving money on the table—and how to fix it
If you’re running a collision repair shop and want to make sure you’re getting every dollar you deserve, this episode is for you. Let’s get into it!"
