What experts are saying about the report

Chris Cotton

Owner of AutoFix Auto Shop Coaching

“I think it’s one of the most comprehensive, enlightening, and thought-provoking reports I’ve seen in the last several years, especially from a coaching standpoint.”

Alan Beech

“This report is a benchmark for our industry, giving guidance to local shops.”

Cecil Bullard

CEO at the Institute for Automotive Business Excellence

“AutoLeap has done a really good job with the Industry Report and I am very impressed with the finished product. The fact that they used an independent survey company and the survey was done with a random mixture of shops should make it very accurate. That makes much of the report even more important for the future of the industry.”

Greg Bunch

Owner of Aspen Auto Clinic

“Autoleap has knocked it out of the park with their Auto Repair Benchmark Survey! The data compiled by their team is eye-opening to me as both a multi-location shop owner and business coach. Every shop owner should digest the report and learn where our industry is at and what they need to do to move forward.”

Sheri Hamilton

Executive Director at Midwest Auto Care Alliance

“Using this comprehensive AutoLeap survey will prove to be an invaluable asset for shop owners. The Auto Care Alliance helps connect shop owners, as well as provide further training to guide and set shops up for success. The ACA appreciates being able to partner with AutoLeap and looks forward to pushing this survey out to help educate and inform the industry.”
