Taxes shouldn’t be a mystery—but for a lot of auto repair business owners, that’s exactly what they feel like. You’re busy managing repairs, dealing with parts suppliers, keeping techs on schedule—and then tax season hits, and everything feels rushed and chaotic.


Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Many mechanic shops and car maintenance service providers end up paying more than they need to, simply because they didn’t have a solid plan. The tax code has tons of deductions and credits designed for businesses like yours—you just need someone who knows how to use them.


At Straight Talk CPAs, we help auto repair shops and maintenance businesses build year-round tax strategies that reduce your bill, increase deductions, and eliminate those April surprises.

Tax Planning Services for Auto Repair and Maintenance Businesses

Why Most Auto Repair Businesses Overpay in Taxes

Missed Deductions

Not tracking tools, diagnostic equipment, uniforms, or shop rent? That’s money lost.

Wrong Business Structure

S-Corp, LLC, or C-Corp? The setup you choose can make a huge difference in your tax liability.

Poor Expense Tracking

Missing receipts = missed deductions. It adds up fast—and eats into your profit.

We don’t just show up in April. Through our tax advisory services, we work with your auto repair business all year to build a smart, proactive plan that keeps more of your hard-earned money where it belongs—with you.
