I have been a member of ShopPros before it was even ShopPros. Call us founding fathers. LOL. I have have spent 25 years training with so many organizations within this industry. There are a lot of amazing people out there. Why ShopPros? It's driven by shop owners, who live , breath and experience your pains, your same highs and lows, your staff issues, your financial issues. I get it. I run a 2nd generation business since 1976. I have been a member since 2004 because it's not just about learning, teaching and a coaching with you. It's about proven real world and time systems. Not stuff from 10 years ago being still coached and trained. I like that ShopPros is about high performance shop owners wanting not just the low hanging fruit, they want the whole thing, they want sales, Net profit, systems, process, marketing, HR. It's a company that helps with so many facets of our automotive business. Their analytical software Business Builder combined with the power of Protractor, makes it the only superior shop management coaching tool. The team behind ShopPros are just like us, not executives, or CEO they are former shop owners, family of shop still running, Industry leaders and some of the greatest owners aiding to help develop their systems. There are coaching and training companies that can easily fix a broken shop. That's simple! What happens when your shop is running smoother how do you climb up to the next level! Carlo Sabucco-Owner and all other positions held in Sils Complete Auto Care Centre, Oakville, Ontario, Canada. Team leader of G4 group who are the founding members of the organization since 2004 we have been like family and built incredible companies with the ShopPros way.

I've been a member of the ShopPros group for 5 years now. I was looking to join an organization that I would call a "Team Member" instead of just a company with their vision. The comradery at ShopPros is tremendous and every member is there to help you if you need advice. ShopPros has made a tremendous impact on me, my shop, and my family.

I joined ShopPros at the beginning of 2020 after trying other automotive business management products and wanting something different. Well ShopPros delivered and not only did our shop numbers increase but the accountability I now have with other automotive shop owners is priceless! I highly recommend making the investment into your business and in you!

Shoppros has made a huge difference in my business! Three years ago I was considering shrinking my two-shop business down to one because things weren't going well. Now I find myself wondering if I should be adding locations!!! As a small business owner you often question everything you're doing and wonder what needs changing, adding or deleting. With the relationship you continuously build and strengthen with your coach and your Shoppros peer members, you are constantly challenged and told outright what's what - sugar coating it just delays the inevitable! Haha! Having this group to consult makes decisions much easier when you have those that are in your industry and super experienced giving you advice. Decisions you delay and delay acting on are pushed in the right direction. Thank you Shoppros. Success is now in my sights!
