Four Days, Full Potential: Rachel Evans on Reshaping Workweeks and Retaining Talent

Working six days a week for two years straight might feel like the only way to keep your shop alive—but at what cost? In this episode of Whispering Loudly, Rachel Evans, the number one automotive business coach in the aftermarket, tackles one of the biggest questions workshop owners face: How do you move to a four-day work week without killing revenue?

Joined by producer Mel, Rachel shares proven strategies for transitioning to a shorter week, educating customers, and creating a better work-life balance for both owners and their teams. Plus, they dive into the tough reality of apprentice turnover, exploring how culture, leadership, and support systems can make or break young technicians before they’ve even started.

If you’ve ever dreamed of reclaiming your weekends or are struggling to find and keep the right people, this episode offers practical steps to shift your business model and strengthen your team without sacrificing profit.
