Consolidation Coach is a boutique consulting firm that specializes in helping body shop owners understand the value of their business, holding their hand through the selling process, and helping them to realize the next chapter of life…..confidently, painlessly and stress free.
We are not brokers. We are a consulting firm that coaches and guides you through the selling process from beginning to end.
Consolidation Coach became a reality after owner, Laura Gay, sold her MSO collision repair centers in 2015. Being a first generation shop owner and having a sharp business mind, selling her shops required Laura to take a pause and learn as much as possible at a time where there were no real sources and information. She quickly became known by friends as the go-to person for advice to sell your shop after successfully selling her shops and retiring at the age of 42.
Seeing a real need for fellow shop owners, Consolidation Coach was born.
Real Experience. Real People. Real Results.
Built on Experience. Backed by 100+ Successful Business Sales.
At Consolidation Coach, our team brings something you won’t find at every M&A advisory firm — real experience owning, operating, growing, and selling businesses.
Several members of our team have built and sold their own companies. In fact, some of our team members started out as Consolidation Coach clients before joining us.
We’ve been in your shoes. We know the hard work, long hours, and personal sacrifices that go into building a successful business. We also know how important it is to have the right people in your corner when it’s time to sell.
Today, we use that experience to help owners across automotive and other service-related industries understand their options, protect what they’ve built, and confidently move into their next chapter.
We believe in straight answers, honest advice, and treating your business like it’s our own.
