About ATI

We Care About Your Success

The Automotive Training Institute (ATI) has grown into the leading coaching and consulting automotive management company in the nation, with more than 1,600 active members who represent the best shops in the US and Canada.

Since 1980, we’ve been helping independent auto repair and collision repair shop owners improve their businesses and their lives, with proven, measurable and field-tested strategies and practices. Our performance coaches are direct employees of ATI and are certified by the Center for Executive Coaching. Our motto, Driving Profits and Dreams Home, represents the desire we have for our members to be happy and achieve their goals. Dreams are usually different for each person and at ATI we understand those differences. No matter what type of shop owner you are at this point in your life, we understand you. Join us at one of our shop owner events held each year all over North America and we’ll help you get what you want out of your business.

Our Mission

Driving profits and dreams home for members and associates through honest coaching and integrity.

Re-engineering misguided belief systems by focusing on successes and learning from mistakes.

What our members say...

Tim Gilthorpe | Tim's Quality Car Care

“ATI has changed my family’s life more than you can imagine. They showed us how to take our business to the next level. Like anything else, you get out of it what you put in. Go to the classes and make the changes! These people truly care about what they do and are elevating our industry.”

Chris Lanning, Lanning Automotive

“We enrolled in ATI’s program and six months later we’re banging out about 40-50% more production than what we were prior to that. ATI made me realize that the structure that I needed wasn’t there and they helped build a plan to get that structure.”

“As a manager in this business, I always approach the classes at ATI with an open mind… Not only have I applied the things I learned in these classes to my shop but also in my life in general… I highly recommend not only ATI and their coaches but every class they host! Never disappointed in any aspect of our visit!”
