Let Us Help You Work On Your Shop Instead of In Your Shop
Every person you sit down with has either owned a shop or spent years inside one. We will show you where your shop is leaking money, where your time is going, and exactly what to change first. Whether you are actively losing money, need more time to enjoy your life, or are planning to exit the industry and need to improve your shop's valuation, the conversation is built around where you actually are.
Real Numbers, Not Opinions
Pricing, gross profit, average repair order, car count. You will see the benchmarks your shop should be hitting and how far off you are today.
Built by Operators, for Operators
If you run a shop, you will quickly realize we have walked the same path as you and stood exactly where you are right now.
You Leave With a Plan, Not a Pitch
This session is built so you walk away knowing the first three moves to make the next time you unlock the shop.
What Happens in Your Strategy Session
Up to two hours, one-on-one, and every minute of it is about your shop.
We Learn About Your Shop
A straight conversation about your numbers, your team, your hours, and what is actually keeping you up at night. No script.
We Put Your Numbers Against Real Benchmarks
Labor rate, gross profit, average repair order, car count, productivity. You see where you stand against the shops performing at the top of the industry.
You Get a Roadmap for Your Shop
A personalized review and shop strategy roadmap built from a system that has worked for 15,000+ shops. It is free, and what you do with it is your decision.
What We Can Cover
Between staffing issues, parts shortages, cost increases and being scheduled out work-wise, we know you are very busy. These are the topics that come up most. We will not get to all of them in two hours, and we do not try to. Everything we cover is tailored directly to your shop and the numbers you bring, so we go deep on the ones that will move your business the most.
Finding and Hiring the Best Technicians
Where the good ones actually come from and how to land them in a trade where turnover kills momentum.
Labor Rate Analysis
What your labor rate should be and how to know if you are actually covering your loaded labor costs.
Part Availability Issues
Practical ways to keep jobs moving when parts are slow, scarce, or back ordered.
Battling Inflation
Protecting your margins when costs keep climbing on parts, labor, and everything else.
Getting Personal Time Back

Controlling the Chaos
The systems that turn a reactive, fire-fighting shop into one that runs on a plan.
Preparing to Sell
Building real value and a clean exit so the business you built pays you when you leave.
And Much More
Labor productivity, digital marketing, pricing, gross profit, car count, and the everyday decisions that move a shop. Bring your toughest questions.

Watch the overviewWhatever Size Your Shop Is Today
Regardless of the size of your shop, how long you have been in business, or how soon you plan to sell, there is a session here for you.
The Solo Operator
You are the owner and the lead tech. You want to stop trading every hour for a dollar and finally build something that does not depend on you being in the bay.
Owner With a Team
You have techs and advisors, but you are still the bottleneck. You want systems, accountability, and a crew that runs the day without you putting out every fire.
Established Operator
The shop is profitable and you want the next level: a second location, a real exit number, or simply to step back without the wheels coming off.
This Session Is for You If...
You Are Tired of Working in Your Shop More Than On It
The shop runs you instead of the other way around. You want your nights, weekends, and headspace back without the business falling apart.
You Know There Is Another Level and You Want to Reach It
You are doing fine, but fine is not the goal. You want the playbook top shops use to scale profit, add bays, open the next location, or whatever your goal may be.
You Feel Margins Getting Squeezed Every Year
Parts costs, labor, and overhead continue to climb. You want to know what your numbers should look like and where the money is quietly leaking out.
You Want Your Shop to Run When You Are Not Standing in It
Right now, it is possible nothing moves without you. Are you the bottleneck? You want the systems and the team to keep the day on track whether you are there or not.
You Have Heard the Pitches and Want Proof, Not Promises
You want to see real shop data, how it applies to your own shop, technicians, and lifestyle, and decide for yourself whether these strategies can work for you.
You Want to Talk to Someone Who Has Actually Done It
Running a shop can feel lonely. You want an operator who gets it, will not question your concerns, and will give you ideas you can use right away.
Leave With a Plan, Not Just Notes
Whether or not you ever work with ATI again, everything that comes out of this conversation is yours to keep.
A clear read on where your shop stands against real industry benchmarks.
At least the first three changes to make the next time you walk into your shop.
Pricing and profit moves you can put to work immediately.
A $150 DrivenAdvantage credit to spend on whatever your shop needs.
Real Shop Owners. Real Results.
Meet four shops who struggled: working too many hours, watching margins tighten, and unsure what to fix first. Todd was one of them. After working with ATI, he has tripled his business. The others, mechanical and collision alike, each tell a different version of the same turnaround. Different shops, different challenges, one starting point: A single strategy session.
Hear it in their own words, then picture what that first conversation with ATI could do for your shop and your life outside of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the session cost?
Nothing. The Shop Strategy Session is free, and you receive a $150 DrivenAdvantage credit for attending. There is no obligation to buy anything at any point.
How long does it take?
Up to two hours. We block the full window because the conversation goes as deep as you want it to, but we will always respect your time and your schedule.
What do I need to bring?
Your numbers, if you have them handy: sales, gross profit, car count, labor rate. If you do not have them at your fingertips, that is fine. We will work with what you have and show you what to start tracking.
Can my spouse or business partner join?
Absolutely. Many of the best decisions in a shop are made by two people. Just let our team know when we reach out to schedule.
My shop is small. Is this still for me?
Yes. Whether you are a solo owner in the bay or running a team across several locations, the benchmarks and moves we cover scale to where you are as an owner.
Do I have to be an ATI member?
No. This is open to any independent mechanical or collision shop owner who wants to run a better business.
How do I get my $150 DrivenAdvantage credit?
Attend your session and it is yours. Our team will get your credit set up on the marketplace so you can spend it on whatever your shop needs.
Is this just a sales pitch?
You leave with takeaways you can put to work right away, whether or not you ever work with us again. If you want to go further, we will tell you exactly what that looks like. It is the same first step that has helped turn around thousands of other shops, and it is your decision if you would like additional training.
