● AREAS OF BUSINESS & PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT I CAN ASSIST WITH
How I can
help.
Practical consulting for independent garage owners who want to improve profitability, build a team that runs without them, and grow sustainably. Not theory — the same approaches I use across the six businesses in the Dack Motor Group.
Most business coaching for garage owners is generic. It's delivered by people who've never run a workshop, never worried about technician productivity, never chased a late parts delivery while explaining a quote to a customer in the waiting area.
What I offer is different. I've spent twenty years building one workshop into a multi-site group covering servicing, bodywork, van hire, and conversions. Every piece of advice I give comes from having done it — or having watched it go wrong and fixed it. The areas below are where I can help, but they all start with the same question: what's actually going on in your business?

Finance & profitability
If you don't know your gross profit per hour, you're pricing blind. I help garage owners build P&L structures that actually make sense for an automotive business — not generic templates designed for retail. We'll model your gross profit requirements, understand where your money is really going, and build a cash flow forecast that gives you confidence to invest in equipment, staff, or a new site.
I've raised finance for growth multiple times — from bank lending to asset finance to property purchase. I know what lenders look for in an automotive business, and I can help you present your numbers in a way that gets approved.
People & structure
The biggest barrier to growth in most garages isn't customers or money — it's the owner doing everything. I help you figure out which role to hire next, how to structure your team for the stage you're at, and how to delegate without losing control of quality.
A service advisor who can quote and convert, a workshop manager who can run the floor, a bookkeeper who keeps the numbers clean — each one frees you from tasks that are holding back your growth. The goal is simple: a business that runs without you for a week. If it can't, we fix that first.
Technology & reporting
Most garages use about 20% of their management software's capability. I help you get the other 80% — configuring your systems to produce the reports you actually need, integrating different data sources so you're not manually copying numbers between spreadsheets, and automating the repetitive tasks that eat your evenings.
We've built customised reporting across all six Dack Motor Group businesses — integrating workshop management software, finance systems, and marketing platforms into dashboards that tell us exactly where each business stands. I can help you build the same thing, scaled to your operation.
Growth & marketing
I've grown through acquisition and through organic expansion — both are valid, both have different risks, and both require different preparation. If you're considering buying a competitor or opening a new site, I can help you model the numbers and talk through the growth pains before they hit.
On marketing, I'll help you set up reporting that shows your actual ROI and conversion rates — not vanity metrics. I've used every channel from Google Ads to social media to community involvement, and I know what works for independent garages and what burns money.
