Are you running a business with no dashboard?
This is a must read for every collision repair facility owner, regardless of their size or apparent success. This book fills a huge gap in the market, as there are very few books dedicated to this industry worldwide, and what there is, often do not reflect our current market.

Reader reviews
I had the pleasure of first meeting Gavin at an MTAQ information seminar about 15 years ago. Two things that still ring in my ears from that day are
" know your numbers boys" and " if you can't measure it, you cant fix it" Gav's knowledge of and passion for the industry is 2nd to none and I've loved listening and learning ever since. I've had the privilege of "proof reading" the book and it's a fantastic read. I'm looking forward to part 2 in the near future

“Gavin’s book is written from his heart and years of experience helping people. As he demonstrates, from having coaches and mentors himself, that going it alone without “trusted authorities” will slow you down and limit your ability to get to the “drive for 45% GP%, and the “15% for Green” or double digit profit Excellent read, highly recommended for all who want to “thrive and not just survive” in 2022 and beyond!
Steve Trapp, Strategic Accounts Manager in EMEA Region for Axalta Coating
I've known Gavin for many years and have been thoroughly impressed by his ability to help body shops. This book is a must read for owners and staff who want to control their shop into the future."
