A single employee in Maryland costs around $900 a month in premiums — and that number has likely doubled in the last decade. A 26-year-old with no kids isn’t going to pay $10,000 a year for coverage that barely covers routine visits. Hunt explains what this means for shop owners trying to offer health benefits and why fewer people in the group plan makes the whole thing more expensive for everyone.

A single person in Maryland is paying $900 a month — double or triple what it cost ten years ago. Young employees aren’t signing up, which makes group plans even more expensive for everyone else. Hunt breaks down the real cost of offering health insurance, why you can’t just pay employees directly, and what the IRS will and won’t allow.

What if the money your auto repair shop is missing could be found in minutes instead of hours? 💰

AI isn't just about saving time. It can help shop owners uncover costly discrepancies, spot overlooked transactions, and make better decisions using data they already have.

In the newest episode of Business by the Numbers, Hunt Demarest shares real examples of how free AI tools are helping shops find missing money, analyze customer trends, and uncover opportunities for improvement.

The best part? You don't need to be a tech expert to get started!

A great day of golf for an even greater cause! ⛳💙

Hunt Demarest and the PMA team were proud to sponsor and participate in the Make-A-Wish Mid-Atlantic Annual Golf Tournament at Green Spring Valley Hunt Club in Owings Mills, Maryland.

The worst deals Hunt sees happen within families. Key employees know to talk to a banker first — family members often don’t. Hunt warns shop owners: if you didn’t save enough for retirement and you’re selling to your kids to make up for it, you might be saddling the next generation with a price they can never justify. Make sure helping them doesn’t actually hurt them.
