The Automotive Training Institute (ATI) announced the official launch of its new Annual Partner Program. This program is an exclusive, higher-level collaboration between ATI and industry-leading suppliers aimed at bringing maximum value to all participating parties.
The program will elevate ATI’s coaching and training program to new heights by giving members direct access to partner related resources, expertise, and services. Additionally, partners will benefit from increased exposure to ATI’s expanding member network and broad industry reach to collision and repair shop owners throughout the U.S. and Canada.
“We are excited to collaborate with fellow industry leaders enriching both our programs and theirs. In addition to providing them with more access and interaction with our members, ATI will also share our expertise and offer services to our partner’s customers and network," said ATI COO Ron Greenman.
"The Automotive Training Institute is known for putting the repair shops first. With constant coaching and bringing on new innovations, their shops stay the best in the industry," said Todd Westerlund, chief revenue officer of Facepay. Facepay is happy to be selected as a Diamond Partner to bring transformational subscription payments and capital access to repair shops. It is a game-changer, increasing profitability by 15-20%. We are excited at the increased opportunities and benefits for independent shops with ATI’s new program."
This program is built on having limited partners to ensure ATI and its members can take full advantage of combined products and services. It has three exclusive tiers: Diamond, Gold, and Silver.
