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...

Stephen D. Cairl, Lonsbury Garage | Angola, IN

“Being profitable using ATI’s KPI’s has opened up many doors of opportunity, not just in paying my business off, being able to support my family as well as my employee’s families comfortably, but has allowed me the opportunity to give away vehicles to several families in need of reliable transportation.”

“I’ve been with ATI for years and I’ve never been more thankful for their support than right now [during COVID]. Keep up the great work.”

“Since joining ATI’s program a year ago, my shop has exploded. Sales have more than doubled but, more importantly, profits are unbelievable! This year, my family and I went on the first vacation we’ve taken since I opened my shop in 2008!”
