In 2015 Atomic Auto sold our building and downsized. In the midst of this transition, I decided I needed some outside guidance and input in the restructuring. Based on the advice of a friend I found the Service Center Scholars 20 group. Using the input and tools shown to me by the members of the group, we have completely transformed our business. We now are in control of the financials and have the instruments available for monitoring the pulse and making changes as needed. Being a member of Service Center Scholars has been a truly transformative experience for my shop!

A little history...

In October of 1993, Service Center Scholars was formed to improve performance and profitability for its working group of independent automotive shop owners. Over the years, through our structure of regular, agenda driven meetings, shared ideas and detailed financial analysis, groups of like-minded business owners have been able to reach new levels of success that would be difficult or impossible to achieve on their own.
