The RTS operating system

People. Process. Execution.

People

Defined roles, clear goals, and frequent coaching conversations. Great teams don't happen by accident — they're built on purpose.

Process

Proven, repeatable process models — from the 5-Step Oil Change to inspection and presentation standards your whole team can run.

Execution

Weekly scorekeeping, Monday coaching, and peer accountability. Sustainable results come from managers dedicated to developing their people.

Complete Winning Strategy

From behind the counter

Coached by an operator, not a theorist.

Patrick Murphy started behind the counter after college and spent more than twenty years producing, developing, and mentoring top auto repair retail teams. He founded RTS to help independent shops compete and win, and today he also builds SideKick360 — the shop performance platform that powers the RTS program.

“It's never been just about fixing cars. It's about helping people realize their potential in the best industry in the world.”
