You're working 60 hours a week and you're not sure you're making more than you would at a job. Here's how Nolavi works through it, the same way a good mechanic works on a car: find the concern, the cause, the correction, then verify the fix.
Nate had run his shop for eight years. He knew he was busy. He wasn't sure he was profitable. His accountant gave him a number once a year, four months after the year ended.
His shop system showed sales. His bank showed deposits. Neither showed him what was left after every cost. Parts, labor, payroll, rent, marketing, card fees and overhead all came out of different places, and nobody had added them up in real time.
Nolavi pulls every number into one place and shows Nate five lines every Monday: gross profit, effective labor rate, parts profit, payroll share and net profit, each against his goal. When one misses, it shows why and what to fix. The Monday report reads like a coach talking through the week.
In the first four months, Nate found three leaks he hadn't known about: underpriced diagnostic time, a parts vendor billing over quote on 22 jobs, and two ad campaigns that cost $1,250 a month and brought in one repair order. Net profit went from 8% to 13% of sales. He can now say, every Monday, whether last week was good.
How we work. We make changes like this for shops all the time, using each shop's own data. The numbers shown are examples.

It can be one of the best small businesses to own: recurring customers, good margins on parts and labor, and low online competition compared to retail. The shops that struggle are usually the ones that can't see their numbers clearly enough to catch the leaks.
Many profitable shops keep 10% to 15% of sales as net profit. The ones below that usually have one or two fixable problems: a low effective labor rate, unbilled parts, or wasted marketing spend. Nolavi shows which one it is.
