    Want to know what your auto repair shop is worth, whether you’re charging enough for labor, or where profits may be leaking? Kaizen CPAs + Advisors offers five free, easy-to-use tools for shop owners—just enter your numbers and get practical answers at kaizencpas.com.


    In the first episode of Under the Hood CPA, Eric Joern sits down with Lucas Underwood and David Roman to expose the financial mistakes quietly putting auto repair shops at risk. They explain why clean-looking financial statements can hide missing cash, unpaid taxes, bad accounting, and even fraud or embezzlement. The conversation explores balance sheets, profit-and-loss statements, shop management systems, internal controls, and the dangers of giving one person too much financial authority. Lucas also reveals why talented technicians can end up earning less after opening their own shops—and why “hope” is never a business strategy. Whether you already own a shop or hope to open one, this episode will help you recognize the warning signs before they become expensive disasters.
