What happens when you take over the family business—and have to modernize it?

In this episode of Blood, Sweat & Business, we talk with Bill and Bob Seitz, brothers and owners of Libertyville Car Spa and BP of Lake Forest, about how they transitioned into leadership and made the business their own. From changing customer expectations to shifts in the auto service industry, they break down what it takes to stay relevant and profitable without losing your roots.

Their story is equal parts practical and entertaining—don’t miss this honest, lighthearted take on family business, evolution, and the ride that comes with it.

Kaizen CPAs works with auto repair shops across the country. We know running a successful shop takes more than keeping the bays full. We help shop owners understand their numbers, stay ahead of taxes, and build stronger, more profitable businesses. Auto repair is at the heart of what we do, but we bring the same practical, hands-on approach to businesses in other industries, too.
