Episode 3: Jay Wheatley

Author: James Dillon March 10, 2023 Duration: 1:42:47

In this episode, James Dillon talks about garage business matters with garage owner Jay Wheatley.

Jay took over an established garage business, changed it's emphasis from generalist to specialist, grew it and then sold it.

Jay shares the trials, tribulations and learning from his journey in an open and frank discussion with James. If you're a garage owner, and you have either pains or plans, this episode is a must listen.

Jay is now taking his experiences, including his successful garage exit strategy (he has since sold up and moved on), and making himself available to help others with their own garage ownership journey.

Check out the show notes for details of how to get in touch with Jay. With his very recent garage ownership experience and support he is very well placed to help others solve business problems and prosper.
