🔄 5 Flexible Models of the 4 Day Week — choose the one that fits your shop best
This system is built for workshop owners who:
🛠️ Are working long hours every week and still can’t keep up
🛠️ Can’t find time for the big picture stuff or life outside the shop
🛠️ Want to build a more profitable, scalable, sustainable business
🛠️ Know something has to change, but don’t know where to start
This isn’t some feel good trend. It’s a tested system that gives you your time back without sending your profits or customer service off a cliff.
✅ We didn’t invent the 4 Day Work Week from theory. We built it inside our own business in 2016 when burnout was hitting hard and growth had stalled.
✅ We’ve since coached hundreds of auto repair shops to do the same from owner-operators to multi site teams across every kind of setup in Australia and NZ
✅ And we’ve seen what works, what fails, and what needs adjusting to make the 4 Day Week stick in real workshops with real pressure.
These aren’t side effects, they’re designed outcomes of this system.
✅ Fewer sick days
✅ Better team retention
✅ More competitive staff packages
✅ Better mental health across the board
✅ More time with family (without closing shop)
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all method. Inside the 4 Day Work Week Program, you’ll get access to five different models of the 4DWW so you can pick the version that suits your business best.
Whether you’re:
🛠️ Fully booked and running a big team
🛠️ A hands-on owner still on the tools
🛠️ Or struggling to attract and keep staff
There’s a version that works — and we’ll guide you to the right one.

What Others Are Saying!
"Productivity has definitely increased. We definitely had growth over the last three years and I would absolutely attribute a lot of that to our working week because we have been so much more productive. Most people are happy to work hard and give 100% if they get a three day weekend!"
- Laura M.
"If you're not having a day off, start straight away... It has advantages on the side. It helps build your brand, it gives you more because it gives them space to be able to grow and most of the gaps you've got, if you want your team to be more loyal and productive, roll it out for the team because you're going to benefit from it... There's heaps of options and different ways to do it. So it doesn't matter if you try it and the first one doesn't work. You try it and then you fix it."
- Chris N.
"Go for it! Do it... That's what we say at The Workshop Whisperer.
Customers come to us for a reason. They come to us because we're good. If they want their car done, they can only talk to us for the four days and that's it. Most people will accommodate that, and because there are extra hours, they can do it. Go for it!"
- Diana & Ward L.
