Auto Repair Industry Outlook: Key Trends for 2026 and 2027
A lot of people ask me some version of the same question lately: is now still a good time to be in the auto repair business? The short answer is yes....
It happens—your business misses a payment, skips a tax deposit, or files late. But what comes next doesn’t have to spiral.
In this episode of Kaizen Time, we break down the real impact of missed payments—like estimated taxes for S Corps and C Corps, payroll taxes, or late returns—and how the IRS stacks up penalties and interest when that happens.
