A 30-day garage simulation

Can You Run an Auto Repair Shop for 30 Days?

You’ve taken over a six-bay garage and its list of customers. Cars come in for services, mystery warning lights and big repairs, and every job needs a bay and a mechanic who can do it. You bill hours and mark up parts. The real decision is what you tell people their car needs: padding the quote pays today, but customers can tell, your reviews follow their trust a few weeks later, and the regulars who keep a garage alive only come back to a mechanic they believe.

How it plays

  1. Week 1 · Taking over — Set up your repair shop
  2. Week 2 · Finding the bottleneck — Shape the team
  3. Week 3 · The mystery shopper — Handle week three
  4. Week 4 · Month-end — Finish the month

After the debrief, “Keep going — 3 more months” continues the run with calendar events, new challenges and opportunities that build on what you chose earlier. Every decision page has a live preview that shows what your picks do to the numbers before you lock them in.

What you get at the end

A debrief with your outcome, charts of where the money went, your biggest mistake and roughly what it cost, and a full report you can copy or save as a PDF. Everything runs in your browser: no sign-up, nothing to install.
