This is a private paid call with Mike Melton for auto shop, tire shop, collision, and service business owners who need direct operator advice.
No theory. No motivation speech. No fake guru nonsense.
You bring the problem. I'll help you find the leak, make the hard call,
and figure out the next move.
Payment is required to book · Limited availability · Serious owners only
The free call on this site is for owners who want to apply for the Fix My Crew coaching program.
This paid Operator Call is different.
This is for owners who want direct help with a specific problem right now — crew issues, sales problems, leadership gaps, pricing, accountability, hiring, firing, shop chaos, or growth decisions.
No coaching commitment required.
If working together makes sense after the call, we can talk about it. But this call is built to help you walk away with clarity either way.
$250
Best for one clear problem you need help thinking through fast.
Good for:
One focused issue. Fast, direct operator advice.
$500
Best for a deeper breakdown of your shop, crew, numbers, leadership, and next steps.
Good for:
Best choice if the problem is bigger than one issue.
You don't need another podcast clip.
You don't need another motivational quote.
You need someone who has actually built shops, led crews, made payroll, fired the wrong people, promoted the right ones, fixed broken standards, and lived with the pressure you're carrying right now.
Maybe your crew only performs when you're standing there.
Maybe your service writer keeps giving away margin.
Maybe your top guy thinks he runs the place.
Maybe you're tired of being the only one who cares.
Maybe the shop is making money, but it still owns your life.
That's the stuff we talk through on this call.
Not theory. Real shop problems. Real operator judgment.
This is for shop owners and operators who want straight answers.
You should book this if:
I'll help you find the problem.
I'll tell you what I'd do.
But you still have to go back and lead.
Pick 30 minutes or 1 hour depending on how deep you want to go.
Payment is collected when you schedule. Your time is not held until payment is complete.
You'll answer a few questions so I know what I'm walking into before we talk.
We'll get right into the issue. No small talk. No long intro. We'll use the time to work.
You'll leave with clearer thinking, sharper priorities, and a practical next step for your shop.
Come ready. The better you explain the problem, the better I can help you.
Before the call, know your numbers and the situation.
Helpful things to have ready:
Don't show up with ten random questions.
Show up with the problem you actually need solved.
I started in the trades young. Built a tire operation into a $185M+ business. Hired, fired, trained, led, and fixed crews for decades.
I'm not coming at this from theory.
I've been the guy stuck at the shop.
I've been the guy carrying the whole thing.
I've been the bottleneck.
And I know what it takes to build a crew that can run without you babysitting every move.
"My techs used to wait on me for everything. After 30 days with Mike, they're running ROs, holding standards, and I took my first weekend off in 4 years."
Auto Repair Owner
"Average ticket up 38%. Service writers stopped discounting. Mike showed me exactly where the leak was."
Tire Shop Owner
"I was the bottleneck. Mike called it out in 5 minutes. Built me a system that runs without me. Revenue up. Stress down."
Collision Shop Owner
No.
The free call is for owners applying for the Fix My Crew coaching
program.
This is a paid private Operator Call for direct help with a
specific problem.
This call is not built as a sales call.
If coaching makes sense, we can talk about it. If not, we stay
focused on the problem you booked the call for.
Book 30 minutes if you have one clear problem.
Book 1 hour if you want a deeper breakdown or
have multiple issues happening at once.
Anything related to your shop, crew, leadership, sales, pricing, accountability, hiring, firing, operations, or growth is fair game.
Yes. You should. The more context you give before the call, the better the call will be.
Yes. Payment is required when you schedule.
You can reschedule one time with at least 24 hours notice.
No-shows are not refunded.
No call magically fixes a business.
But one good call can expose the real leak, stop you from making a
dumb decision, and give you the next move you need to make.
No. It works for tire, auto repair, collision, fleet, and service businesses with crews, customers, sales, and shop-floor problems.
You can keep thinking about it for another month.
You can keep blaming the crew.
You can keep hoping the problem fixes itself.
Or you can book the call, bring the issue to the table, and get direct operator advice from someone who has lived it.
Paid private call. Serious owners only.
