Fueling growth by automating payroll

Initially, the owners of a small automotive repair shop didn’t need a payroll solution when it was just them. But as they grew, they realized not knowing how to do payroll could hurt them. With business booming, they needed help.

I’ve been with ADP for a long time now, and I have no regrets. My business can be stressful sometimes, but ADP helps ensure things are running as smoothly as possible.

I’m used to just being a little company

We are a small automotive-repair shop — my brother does the mechanical, and I do everything else. So we never needed payroll. We always got by doing 1099s for us and whatever extra help we needed to bring in. But as we grew, not knowing how to do payroll hurt us.

The ADP® representative answered all my questions

Then, the business started booming. I made a call to the ADP representative through a referral from my bank partners. The representative quickly came out to see me and answered all my questions. I said, “I’m going to give you a shot.” This service is literally like a giant brick off my back every week. All I have to do is gather the hours and go into RUN Powered by ADP.

ADP’s insurance and automatic reports save me time and money

I also started using the Pay-by-Pay® for workers’ compensation — available through ADP’s licensed affiliate Automatic Data Processing Insurance Agency, Inc. (ADPIA®) — which lets me pay those premiums weekly rather than what I was doing with my insurance company. Now, I only pay for what I use, and everything is handled for me.
