The Complete Founder Bundle: auto repair business plan, marketing plan, go-to-market plan, pitch deck, and P&L tracker. One-time payment, lifetime access, no subscription.
An auto repair business plan should cover your service mix (general repair, specialty, tires, diagnostics), location and bay count, equipment list with costs, technician staffing and labor rates, parts sourcing and markup strategy, and financial projections built on car count and average repair order.
Expect $50K-$250K+ depending on whether you lease an existing shop or build out raw space -- lifts alone run $3K-$15K each, and diagnostic equipment adds tens of thousands more. Buying an existing shop is often comparable in price with revenue from day one. Co-COO helps you model both paths.
