I understand that to completely understand the complete make up we must examine all the criteria that you listed above, however I am simply interested in the support staff to technician ratio. I should of been more clear about my expectations from my question. I am trying to understand if there might be an industry standard, I have visited several automotive dealers, they seem to run 3 to 4 technicians to 1 support member in my experiences. Our industry doesn't seem to be willing to allow such a saturated support staff?

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
