“I only had €42 and a toolbox. I spent that on cleaning supplies and whatever cash flow we made went back into the business.”

In this episode, it’s J.P. D’Arcy’s turn in the hot seat. Once a dealership technician, he shares how he walked away from the job when he realised the role didn’t align with his morals. He had no plan, no savings and a young family, but knew he could no longer stay.

Talking about the early days in a car salesman’s service bay to the successful specialist garage he’s built, J.P. is open about the trials and tribulations, difficult decisions and personal experiences that shaped his journey to success.

Now, he’s using this experience to help others avoid the same mistakes when starting up on their own. The Garage Business Growth Event is founded on the idea of sharing the tools, resources and industry leaders that helped J.P. in his own journey.
