Patrick Murray

Patrick Murray never planned to stay in the auto repair industry. At 15, he took a job at a local tire shop, but his heart was set on making it big in the music world. Along the way, he explored a wide range of ventures, from working in salvage yards and music stores to running his own T-shirt business.

By 23, Patrick found himself back in college pursuing a degree in business education while launching a car lot in 2005. That experience, combined with his diverse background and creative grit, led him to open his own repair shop in 2010. With firsthand knowledge of what it takes to start from scratch, pivot through challenges, and build a business with staying power, Patrick brings a unique blend of entrepreneurial hustle and practical leadership to his coaching.

Now a coach with Shop Fix Academy, he helps other shop owners find clarity, take bold action, and grow businesses that reflect their vision and values, no matter how unconventional the path.
