GARAGE BUSINESS TOOLKIT · BY ANDY SAVVA, THE GARAGE INSPECTOR
Nine problems every garage has. Nine tools that fix them.
There are things every garage could do that would change the business overnight. Most owners know roughly what they are. What they don't have is the tools to do them. This is the toolkit, built by someone who ran his own garage for 25 years.

Built for independent garages. Any size, any specialism.
Whether you run two ramps or ten, the problems are the same. You bring the garage. The toolkit brings the numbers, the checks and the scripts.
- MOT centres
- Servicing and repair
- Diagnostics specialists
- Family garages
Working harder won't fix it. The right tools will.
Get the toolkitYou’re good at fixing cars. Nobody taught you the rest.
How to work out what an hour really costs you. How to price parts so you make money on them. How to look on Google next to the garage down the road. How to handle the customer who wants a price over the phone. How to keep standards up when you’re not in the workshop. How to stop being the answer to every question.
Most owners know these things matter. The problem is that knowing isn’t doing. Without the right tool, they stay on the list for another year.
So I built the tools. Nine of them. Each one fixes one problem, and you can use it the day you buy it.
How it works
Get the toolkitPick the problem that's costing you most.
Start anywhere. Each tool stands on its own.
Watch, then use the tool.
Andy explains why it matters, shows you a worked example, then you put in your own garage's details.
Act on the result.
Every tool ends with the first thing to do, so the fix happens this week, not next year.
Nine problems. Nine tools. Yours to keep.
Every tool starts with a problem you'll recognise and ends with something you can do today.
Labour rate calculator“I'm not sure my rate covers what an hour actually costs me.”
Your true cost per hour, the rate you should be charging, and the words to tell customers it's going up.
Parts margin calculator“I mark parts up, but I don't know what I'm really making on them.”
Your real margin, the margin you should be making, and what closing the gap is worth over a year.
Positioning builder“I can't say why a customer should choose us over the garage down the road.”
A clear, short answer to “why you”, ready for your Google profile, website, van and phone.
Google presence check“I don't know how we look to someone searching for a garage near them.”
A score for your reviews, photos, information and map listing, side by side with the five garages nearest you.
First impressions check“I've never seen my garage the way a new customer sees it.”
A mystery-shop scorecard for your phone, website and reception.
Counter simulator“We lose jobs at the counter and on the phone, and I don't know why.”
Practise with the price shopper, the nervous first-timer and the customer who's angry about the bill. Get feedback after every call.
Workshop standards audit“Standards slip when I'm not watching.”
A walk-round audit to run every month, so you can see standards rising or falling.
Ten-minute morning huddle“Everyone comes to me with every question, all day.”
A template and printable board for a daily start that answers the questions before they interrupt you.
Off the tools sorter“I'm still doing jobs I should have handed over years ago.”
Your week sorted into stop, systemise and delegate, so you can start getting off the tools.
BONUS TOOL
How does your garage really compare?
Most owners have no idea how they compare with other garages. Is your labour rate high or low? Are you the only one who hasn’t had a week off? Is everyone else struggling to find technicians too?
Answer a few questions about your garage, and How You Stack Up shows where you sit against other independent garages, against garages your size, and against your region.
Wherever you’re behind, it points you to the tool that fixes it.
How You Stack Up
Labour rate
Find your gap. Pick your tool.
This is for you if:
- You own or run an independent garage with a team, from two people to twenty.
- You're busy, but you don't feel you're getting paid properly for the work.
- You know some things need fixing, and you want to fix them this month, not think about them for another year.
- You'd rather have a tool you can use than another course to sit through.
This isn't for you if:
- You're looking for someone to come in and do it for you. (Andy's in-garage inspection is for that.)
- You want a quick way to get more cheap work.
- You're not prepared to put your own numbers into the tools.
ONE PAYMENT
All nine tools, for around one hour of your team's labour.
Buy it once. Keep it forever.

Common questions
Do I need to be good with computers?
No. If you can fill in a form on your phone, you can use every tool. Each one has a worked example, so you see it used before you try it.
How long does it take?
Each tool takes 15 to 30 minutes, including the video. Start with the problem that's costing you most. You don't need to do all nine at once.
Will it work for a garage my size?
Yes. The tools work for any independent garage with a team, from two people to twenty. You put in your own figures, so the answers fit your business.
Are my numbers private?
Yes. What you put into the nine tools stays yours. The bonus survey is anonymous, and your answers are only ever combined with other owners'.
What if it doesn't work for me?
If the toolkit doesn't help you increase profitability within 30 days, email us for a full refund.
Stop putting it off. Start fixing it.
Nine tools. One payment. Around one hour of your team's labour.
