Business Coach and Mentor for the Independent Garage

"We help garage owners take control of their business so they can create a better future."

Are You Stuck in Your Garage Business? Let's Fix It!

Do you have a slick team? Can they deliver the same excellent customer service whether you are there or not? Or are you the lynch pin that the business cannot do without?

Enabling your staff to work seamlessly together, bridging the gap between the front of house and workshop team, is crucial. It is essential that your team have the confidence, understanding and systems in place to provide an excellent customer experience without you always being at the helm. Whether you need time to work on cars, focus on the business or take a step back, we can help you achieve a more autonomous business.

Want to Become the Go-To Specialist Garage? We Can Make It Happen!

Do you want to specialise in a single brand, or service? Always dreamed of being a Volkswagen or EV specialist?

Do you ask yourself - How do I do it? Will I lose all of my customer base? How will I be seen as the "go to garage"?

Transitioning to a brand or service specialist can be a big step for you, your team and your customer. There is a bit more to it than making the decision. Very often the cold hard reality of how and should I do it, puts a barrier in place. Either it does not happen or the plan gets watered down. It does not have to be this way. With some guidance you can realise your dream of having that specialist business!

Thinking About Selling Your Garage? Find What You Need to Know.

When planning your exit from your business, you should decide on how, why and when you do it. If you have not thought about this yet, is it time you did?

Will I sell up? Will I retire? Will I hand over the business and carry on working? Or will I just walk away?

I know from experience that unbiased help and advice are scarce when deciding to sell or plan an exit from the business you have worked hard for. But whatever you decide, it should be planned in advance to give you, the business and staff the best outcome.

Here's what our client's say

"Working with Jay has been an eye-opener. He’s helped us refine and perfect our processes, making our whole operation run smoother and more efficiently.

What really stands out is that Jay’s support goes far beyond just systems — he’s offered invaluable advice across every area of the business, from improving our diagnostic process to attracting the right customers and everything in between.

Jay genuinely cares about helping businesses grow and it shows in the results. We’re really grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Absolutely Automotive to anyone looking to take their company to the next level."

-Mark Gorringe

"Having coaching has helped our business grow in many different ways. Overcoming bad habits, structuring our day to day process and ultimately creating a better workplace for everyone. These are just some of many ways in which it's helped us break the routine of chaos and stress running a workshop.

Highly recommend and wish we started sooner!"

-Ollie Barclay

"Its nice to have someone see the business from a "birds eye view" - drilling into the figures and explaining where we are going wrong/right.

Also, Jay has been there & done it - so i am dealing with a trade expert, which in this trade, does matter when giving advice."

-Adam Ogden
