The Operator Marriage: Lee and Kelli Weatherby on Boundaries, Systems, and a Healthier Shop

Running a shop is hard. Running a shop with your spouse adds a whole extra layer, especially when the business is growing and the industry keeps changing. In this episode, David sits down with Lee and Kelli Weatherby of Accurate Automotive in Arizona, the hosts of the Underneath the Hood podcast. They share what it looks like to lead together without stepping on each other, how they divide responsibilities, and how they protect culture when the shop is busy and the pressure is high. Lee and Kelli also get real about the behind the scenes work that most owners do not talk about. Building systems, setting expectations, developing people, and keeping communication clean so the shop does not become a constant emergency. They tie it back to a simple goal, build a business you can be proud of and a life you can actually live. If you are trying to grow without losing your marriage, your team, or your standards, this episode will hit home.
