consultancy
At Locke & Partners, we provide expert consulting services designed to transform collision repair operations. Our approach combines global industry expertise, data-driven insight, and hands-on implementation to help body shops achieve measurable improvements in productivity, quality, and profitability.
Consultancy That Adapts to You
Our consultancy process is flexible by design, adapting to each client’s goals and operational maturity. Depending on your objectives, we guide you through one of two proven routes: BSI, for data-driven performance benchmarking and strategic insight, or Elite Lean, for deep operational transformation that reshapes workflows and culture. Both routes are powered by our core pillars and lead toward the same outcome, measurable, sustainable growth.
Route 01
BSI (Body Shop Intel)
BSI is our self-assessment and benchmarking platform designed to give owners and managers a clear, measurable understanding of their business performance.
