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...

Jeff Gerlack, Challenger Auto & Truck Service

“The day we decided to own our own automotive service and repair facility, I was a Technician, not a business owner. ATI taught us how to own a business and what is needed to own a successful business. Percentages, numbers, production etc. We are very grateful for that training and yes, it was an investment…in ourselves. If the greatest athletes, etc. need a coach, then so do we!”

Rod Schindler, Rod’s Japanese Auto Care

“The only regret I have is not joining ATI sooner… Before ATI we were doing $360k year. The first year after joining ATI we went to $704k and now we are OVER $1.6 Mil with the same amount of technicians and staff. ATI has the best coaching and support for Auto Repair Coaching and Auto Body Shop Coaching.”
