About Andy

I was one of you.

My journey started with a Ford Fiesta van and a loan my father-in-law guaranteed. From these small beginnings, I built Brunswick Garage up to fourteen thousand square feet, ran it for fifteen years, and sold it. Since then I’ve spent all my time helping other garage business owners build thriving automotive businesses.

I have made every mistake you are making. I am not a consultant who read a book about garages. I’ve been ‘under the arches’ just like you. Let me help you build a garage business that delivers for you, your customers, your team and your family.
