Allison,
Yes, Financial planning/ budgeting is one of the modules in his course. He breaks everything into to modules so you don’t feel like you’re trying to tackle everything all at once. That’s one thing I really liked about the course when I took it. We didn’t move on to the next module until we mastered the one we were working on.
Some of the modules I remember are:
The initial evaluation.
Building the foundation.
Strengths and weaknesses of the company.
Culture and moral with the employees.
Culture and brand with customers.
Budgeting.
Creating systems and procedures.
This just scratches the surface but it’s what I could remember off the top of my head. I’m sure he has added to the course since I took it. Paul still checks in with me on a regular basis to see how things are going.
I’ve taken several automotive industry specific coaching programs that I was less than impressed with. They were very expensive and I did not feel they were worth the money I spent on them.
Paul’s course far exceeded my expectations. I’ve referred several local companies to him and they had great results with him that I did. I will tell you that his course is NOT easy. It will take some hard work and you and your shop owner are going to hear some things from Paul that you may not want to hear about the company but in the end it is very much worthwhile and those things that you don’t want to hear are necessary to facing and fixing the problems of the company.

Hi Allison,
Look up a guy named Paul Maskill. Paul is a small business coach that specializes in service based businesses. I know Paul and his father from servicing their vehicles for years. I was kind of a “beta test” for Paul’s course when he first got started in helping small businesses. I’m a 3rd generation auto shop owner and a few years ago had some of the same struggles you are going through. I took Paul’s course and experienced an amazing transformation. My techs are happy and making more money than they ever have, My service manager and service advisors are killing it and making more money than they ever have, our customers are happy, I make more money than I ever have and we have a super star team in place that runs like a well oiled machine even when I’m not here. Do yourself a favor and take a look at Paul’s course. Then tell the shop owner to get off a little money to pay for the course:) Even if you don’t decide to take his course, the phone call with Paul will be well worth your time.
Tell him Aaron Klosterman sent you!
