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.
