Dear Independent Auto Repair Shop Owner,

Would you agree that running a shop has gotten more difficult over the last few years?

You’re not alone.

Between rising parts costs, technician shortages, and the pressure to keep cars moving through the bays… just keeping your head above water can feel like a full-time job.

Add to that the burden of managing your finances – without the time or expertise to do it right – and it’s no wonder so many shop owners feel overwhelmed.

The truth is, one of the biggest reasons auto repair shops struggle or fail is poor financial visibility.

In fact, I’ve found that most shop owners are making at least one of these 7 critical financial mistakes – and they don’t even know it.

That’s why I wrote my latest guide:
