The Owners' Forum is Chapter 12's most impactful educational gathering of the year — a focused, peer-to-peer evening designed exclusively for shop owners and senior leadership. This isn't a lecture. It's a room of serious operators working through real numbers, real challenges, and real solutions, together.

Facilitated by Dave Kusa — Owner, Autotrend Diagnostics; ACT Group Business Coach; BAR Advisory Group Member; ASCEF Board President; 2017 & 2025 ASCCA State President — the evening moves through the questions every shop owner should be asking, but rarely has the room to ask out loud.

What to Expect

• Know Your Numbers — the key metrics every shop owner must track
• Anchors for Achievement — building systems that hold
• Team & Culture — leading through today's workforce challenges
• Peer Discussion — an open forum with fellow owners

Every attendee leaves with a Discussion Guide built to be a working tool back at the shop, not a keepsake.

Invitation Only ~ Contact us if you would like to attend!
Seats are limited — this evening is built for candid conversation, not a crowd.
