Course overview

Create the garage business you deserve

Running an independent garage business is no small feat. Managing the team, pleasing customers and ensuring you have enough work to keep going can often feel like a never-ending challenge. And that’s before you’ve even looked at this month’s books.

Many garage owners want to grow their business to a level where they can step back from the day-to-day. But without a firm understanding of the finances – and what financial measures to focus on – they’ll be stuck in survival mode.

My course, specifically designed for the independent garage sector, captures all my 35+ years experience in the auto-repair sector and helps businesses like yours get confident with finance and start making smart financial decisions.

The tools that you gave us have changed my company from ‘Just about getting by’ to a profitable business that has savings and has also been able to invest in new equipment and training, and this has been done within 12 months!

Meet your course leader: The Garage Inspector

Hi, I’m Andy Savva and I’m obsessed with helping independent garages get more from their business.

For too long, independent garage owners and their teams have had no support to help them grow flourishing successful businesses. I’m on a mission to change that.

Having bought and sold several garage businesses – including my flagship 14,000 sq.ft purposely built vehicle repair workshop – I know what’s holding you back from being the success you deserve to be.

Over the last few years I have been helping an increasing number of garage businesses unleash their potential and move from a position of surviving, to one of thriving.

I’d love for you to join me on this journey and can’t wait to learn all about your business.

Andy Savva, The Garage Inspector
