“It’s such an honor to have our grand opening on Veterans Day and to be able to share this special occasion with those that have given so much to our country,” said Elizabeth Gannon, owner of Mike’s Auto Body. “We owe so much to these individuals, and Mike’s Auto Body wants to make sure that we thank them every time we have an opportunity.”

Grand-opening festivities included Joey Logano’s race car, giveaways, free hot dogs and hamburgers, a Kona Ice dessert truck and a mechanical bull.

“Our entire staff is excited to bring Mike’s Auto Body collision repair services to the Brooksville area,” stated John Gannon, owner of Mike’s Auto Body. “We utilize modern-day facilities, with state-of-the-art equipment, to ensure that our customers’ vehicles are repaired back to the original manufacturer specifications. We train our technicians continuously to ensure that they are performing the safest repairs possible.”

Gannon noted that the MSO decided on the Spanesi 360 Concept line of equipment for the new facility. The equipment line includes frame-straightening benches, spraybooths and prep stations.

“We are excited to partner with Mike’s Auto Body to deliver a comprehensive suite of vehicle repair technologies to their new facility,” said Timothy Morgan, COO of Spanesi Americas. “With Mike’s Auto Body’s reputation and focus on customer satisfaction, we knew that they would be a great partner to utilize Spanesi’s advanced vehicle repair solutions. We are proud to be able to join their celebration and honor our veterans on the same day.”

Exit Strategies: Personal Vision & Financial Planning

The most critical first step in an exit or transition plan is to develop a financial plan and personal vision of what your life will look like post-business.

Jerry was a 63-year-old auto body shop owner who contacted me regarding putting together an exit strategy. Like most shop owners, he had become tired of the day-to-day grind of dealing with the back-and-forth fights with the insurance carriers, yet he still loved the idea of being a part of a business he built from the ground up. Ideally, he would have liked his production manager, Evan, to become his heir apparent, yet he had no idea if Evan was interested in owning the shop or if he was even capable of doing so. His shop was a prime candidate for a consolidator, and he had received an offer from one, yet he cared about his employees and wanted to make sure they were taken care of. Also, he was unsure what he would do with himself if he did not have a place to go. He did not know where to turn.
