When you purchase a paper WOF (Warrant of Fitness) book, you might think you’re getting a great deal for just $7. But the real cost isn’t in the price of the book—it’s in the lost time and money you could be making elsewhere. If you’re still using paper WOF books instead of switching to eWOF, you’re likely losing hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars every month.
Save Time & Earn More with eWOF
Time is money, especially in the automotive industry. Every minute spent filling out a WOF manually is a minute you’re not working on another billable job. eWOF users save between 5–10 minutes per WOF. Let’s break that down:
- If you charge $120 per hour, that equates to $2 per minute.
- By saving 5–10 minutes per WOF, you’re freeing up $10–$20 worth of time per job.
That’s extra time that could be spent servicing another customer, handling repairs, or growing your business.
The Hidden Costs of Paper WOF Books
While a WOF book itself may only cost $7, the inefficiency of using paper instead of eWOF is costing you much more. Each manual WOF inspection takes extra time due to:
- Manual entry – Writing by hand is slower than digital input.
- Errors and rework – Handwritten mistakes lead to lost time fixing errors.
- Storage and retrieval – Paper documents take longer to manage and find when needed.
When you do the math, that $7 WOF book is costing you an additional $10–$20 per WOF in lost billable hours.
Daily Losses Add Up Quickly
If you complete just five WOFs per day using a paper book, you’re losing:
- $50–$100 per day in unbilled time.
- $250–$500 per week (based on a 5-day workweek).
- $1,000–$2,000 per month.
- $12,000–$24,000 per year in potential earnings!
That’s a staggering amount of money left on the table simply because of outdated paperwork.
The Real Cost of a WOF Book
A standard WOF book contains 50 sheets. If you’re losing 5–10 minutes per WOF and your time is worth $2 per minute, that means:
- You’re wasting 250–500 minutes per book.
- At $2 per minute, that’s $500–$1,000 lost—just from using paper instead of digital.
What seemed like a $7 investment is actually costing you hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.
