Are You Ready to Open a Second Shop?

Thinking about expanding your auto repair shop to a second location? Before you sign a lease or make an offer, take a step back. In this episode, Eric Joern and Jack Paeglow from Kaizen CPAs share what true readiness looks like — from running your first shop without you, to keeping clean financials, maintaining steady cash flow, and building a team that can lead confidently.

You’ll also learn what not to do: forcing growth before your systems are solid, stretching cash too thin, or hoping a second shop will fix problems in the first. If you’ve ever wondered whether your auto repair business is really ready to expand, this episode is your reality check.

🎧 A must-listen for auto repair shop owners who want to grow the right way.
