Before you spend on a full QoE, one thing I’d pressure test is whether the deal actually holds up under a few basic stress scenarios. In auto repair specifically, I’ve seen a lot of variance in: • owner add-backs • customer concentration • normalized labor costs QoE is great for validation, but it won’t tell you if you’re overpaying going in. Curious what multiple you’re underwriting this at?
