Small Biz Vantage Expands Resources for Single-Location Auto Repair Shop Owners

Small Biz Vantage, founded by auto shop owner, coach, and speaker Maryann Croce, is expanding its educational resources for single-location auto repair shop owners who want to build businesses that are profitable, sustainable, and enjoyable.

Croce, co-owner of Croce’s Transmission Specialists in Norwalk, Connecticut, works with shop owners who are navigating the shift from doing everything themselves to leading a business that can operate with more clarity, structure, and team accountability.

The expanded resources focus on common challenges for independent repair shop owners, including owner role clarity, financial awareness, delegation, leadership structure, and reducing owner dependency. Croce’s work is shaped by her firsthand experience as a shop owner and her coaching framework, which helps owners create stronger systems and reclaim time without sacrificing business performance.

“Many shop owners don’t need more tasks on their plate. They need a clearer role, better structure, and a team that can carry more responsibility,” said Croce.

Small Biz Vantage continues to support the automotive repair industry through coaching, speaking, workshops, and practical tools designed for real-world shop ownership.
