TESTIMONIALS
How ATRA has helped other shops.
ATRA seminars help us stay ahead of industry changes and provide information we simply can’t find anywhere else.
I attend the ATRA weekend seminars whenever I can and never miss the St. Louis Seminar. In 2017 I took my young apprentice so he could have his first experience at professional continuing education. He loved it and we immediately started making plans to attend EXPO in Las Vegas in the fall. Thank you ATRA for doing such a great job for the transmission industry!
After my transmission started slipping, I was dreading the cost and hassle. These guys not only gave me a fair quote but finished the rebuild in just 3 days. My Accord shifts smoother than when it was new! The ATRA warranty gives me total peace of mind.
