You’ve mastered the wrench. Now it’s time to master the business.This book is for the skilled mechanics who feel the itch for something more-the ones who fix cars better than anyone in the shop but want to stop answering to someone else’s clock. Whether you’re working out of your own garage or running bays for a dealership, this guide will help you take the leap from technician to entrepreneur with confidence and clarity.Packed with real-world insights from shop owners who’ve done it, this is your no-BS roadmap to building something that lasts. You’ll learn what separates a job from a business, how to manage people without losing your mind, what numbers actually matter (and how to read them), and how to turn chaos into systems that work-even when you’re not there.This isn’t about theory. It’s built for those who want results. Whether you’re dreaming about your own lift, stuck in the grind of your first year, or looking to scale your existing shop into something that can run without you, you’ll find tools, advice, and lessons forged in the same pressure you’re feeling now.You’re not just fixing cars anymore. You’re building a legacy. Let’s get to work.
