Course Overview

Enhance Your Customer Service and Boost Your Business

Running an independent garage is more than fixing cars; it’s about delivering great customer service at every point of contact. Whether it’s answering a phone call or handing back the keys, each interaction matters. Yet keeping up with high standards of service can be tough with all the daily demands of garage management.

Many garage owners strive to make their garage the first choice for local customers. But without solid skills in customer service – and knowing how to apply them consistently – they risk falling behind competitors and hurting their business reputation.

This course, designed specifically for the independent garage sector, draws on over 35 years of experience in the automotive service industry. It helps businesses like yours enhance their customer service levels and start seeing real results quickly.

Meet your Course Leader: The Garage Inspector

Hi, I’m Andy Savva and I’m obsessed with helping independent garages get more from their business.

For too long, independent garage owners and their teams have had had no support to help them grow flourishing successful businesses. I’m on a mission to change that.

Having bought and sold several garage businesses – including my flagship 14,000 sq.ft purposely built vehicle repair workshop – I know what’s holding you back from being the success you deserve to be.

Over the last few years I have been helping an increating number of garage businesses unleash their potential and move from a position of surviving, to one of thriving.

I’d love for you to join me on this journey and can’t wait to learn all about your business.
