Autotechs LLP is an engineering performance enhancement specialist in the provision of a particular performance testing service for high-performance road cars. Autotechs seeks to provide a premium service aimed at discerning corporate users that require optimum performance from their executive cars. In order to do this, it hires teams of specialist staff on a sub-contract basis and pays for the hours that they have worked. The material they use in the process of the tests is associated with Formula 1 (racing) standards and thus it is very expensive. Variable overhead costs are attributed to the tests based on direct labour cost.
