Pick the weekend you stop running every decision yourself.

Two full days, 6:30 to 5, taught by operators who run this model on their own floors today. We keep the class focused because it only sticks when the owner is serious about running it.

Honest filter: if you are still building basic car count, this may be early. If the shop has volume but every important decision still routes through you, Key2Key is designed for that stage.
