His role should be to create a system where the workshop consistently delivers results without depending on him for every small decision.For a TVS dealership like Speed TVS, I would structure the GM Service's responsibility around 5 KPIs:1. Service Volume | 2. Revenue & Profit | 3. NPS | 4. Quality/Repeat Repair | 5. Customer RetentionIf you want, I can also make a complete GM Service Job Description + Daily/Weekly/Monthly KPI sheet for a TVS two-wheeler dealership, including exact targets and a performance-review format.
