Nathan Rhodes is the Owner of Total Automotive, an independent auto repair shop based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. With a background in machining and welding, Nathan's passion for cars began as a teenager maintaining his own vehicle. After working his way up from an installer at Pep Boys to a skilled technician, he eventually opened his own shop in 2019. Today, he leads a tight-knit team focused on quality service, honesty, and building long-term customer relationships. In this episode… The auto repair industry has evolved dramatically with the complexities of late-model engines and rapid urban growth. Independent shop owners must navigate changing customer expectations, technical advancements, and increasing competition. How can small auto repair businesses stand out and thrive in fast-paced environments? According to Nathan Rhodes of Total Automotive in Chattanooga, Tennessee, it all comes down to integrity, skilled craftsmanship, and strong customer relationships. By focusing on quality over quantity and hiring technicians who share his values, Nathan has built a trusted local brand known for doing the right thing — without relying heavily on advertising. On this episode of Gain Traction, Mike Edge welcomes Nathan for a conversation about starting an auto shop from scratch, the role of vocational training, how to manage oil consumption issues, and why personal connection is at the heart of lasting success. Nathan also reflects on the challenges of hiring the right people and his vision for expanding into tire and alignment services.

Educate customers consistently: Build trust by explaining vehicle issues clearly and honestly, especially with complex systems. Maintain a clean and organized shop: A professional workspace sets the tone for both employee pride and customer confidence.

Welcome back to Just ONE Thing—the weekly pit stop where we turn one powerful insight into real‑world results for your shop. I'm Rick White from 180BIZ, and today we're shifting gears from “making more sales” to making more money. Too many shop owners chase volume like it's the finish line, only to stall out when the month outruns the money. In this episode, I break down why sales ≠ profit and share the three‑part “profit trifecta” every shop needs: attract customers who value quality, stick to the work you do best, and accept only the jobs that pay. If you've ever felt buried under busy work that doesn't boost the bottom line, this conversation is your roadmap back to healthy margins and happier Mondays. Buckle up, grab your favorite wrench (or coffee mug), and let's dive in!

When Tim Colegrove decided to open a computer repair store in 2021, it was partially because he was interested in entrepreneurship. He also really needed a place to keep the vintage computers and gear that were piling up in his home. So, The BYTE Shop was born: A computer repair shop AND museum to the modern home computer in Jamaica Plain. The Common visited Tim at The BYTE Shop to talk about the store's fully operational computer history exhibit (that is open for the public to come and try), as well as how community and sustainability play into its mission.

With the success of the BBC programme The Repair Shop, Evan Davis examines the business opportunities of companies which offer to repair things from clothes through to electronics.

With Kyle Wiens, CEO of Ifixit, Katharine Beacham, Head of Sustainability, Clothing & Home at Marks and Spencer and upholstery repair expert and Repair Shop presenter Sonnaz Nooranvary.

WELLLLLL that is a wrap on Homophilia, at least for now. But before we go, we want you to hear this conversation with activist/CEO/Pennsylvania State Rep Brian Sims. We're all processing the news from this week, and Brian gets real about what's at stake, what's ahead, and what we can do. Also: meeting a future husband at the P-Town High Tea, The Repair Shop, what makes us cry, why Sarah McBride gives us hope, coming out to a college football team, and why “teddy bear restorer” is the dream job title. To our listeners: thank you for spending an hour a week with us for the last 7-plus years. It's been an honor. We love you.
