Collision Shop Growth Solutions

In the collision industry, if you’re not staying a step ahead, you’re in danger of falling behind. ATI will help you keep pace.

There was a point in time when all you needed to start a body shop was a garage, some used equipment, and a drive to succeed. Times have changed, and the industry has become complicated – making it more difficult than ever to grow your shop and profit. Now shop owners must contend with the challenges of direct-repair programs, the cost of high-tech equipment, and the growing influence of insurance companies on where work is done and at what cost.

At ATI we offer a range of growth solutions specifically for collision shop owners that help them overcome these challenges and more.  This is more than self-help videos and fly-by-night ideas – rather proven strategies that drive results, supported by certified performance coaches who know best.

Events

Discover New Strategies

Keep pace with competitors and the latest industry trends by discovering new strategies in ATI’s shop owner events. Our events are designed to deliver maximum impact in the shortest time period – ensuring that most of what you learn from our industry experts can be applied instantly back at your shop.  We cover today’s most sought-after topics, including negotiating with insurance companies, mastering estimatics for profit, marketing in the digital age, recruiting and retaining staff, retirement planning, and more.

Coaching

If knowing the right answers were enough to achieve goals, everyone would be fit, healthy and wealthy. The truth is that even when we know the right answers, it doesn’t mean we have the desire, willpower, and support to follow through. That is why all of ATI’s advanced solutions include ongoing coaching to provide you with support and hold you accountable for reaching your dreams. Unlike other consulting companies, our coaches are actual ATI employees, have a background in the industry, and are certified by the Center for Executive Coaching.
