Fleet Maintenance & Repair Software

Instead of hiring new managers, why not simply organize better with software?

Unfortunately, you didn't know beforehand that one has an additional third-party engine computer system installed. Although it won't really be hard to get out of the way so  that you can get to the transmission, it will definitely set your workers back a day or so until they can find a manual. This delay seems small until you remember that you've already scheduled the next job.
