Testimonials
"I have been around the automotive aftermarket for 30 years and have never seen a better resource, partner and now friend in the business. From our first conversation, you put me at ease that not only I selected the right product but also found the best place to buy it. I can't say enough about the support and best of all the training! Your training is the best I have ever experienced and now that I'm back at my shop I feel I'm ready to go. Your training gave me hands-on experience actually using the tool and the backend knowledge you gave me on how to run the business was fantastic. I sleep well at night knowing that I have you and your team as a resource when I need it and look forward to sending my techs to your training facility in the future. Thanks again!"

Hi Gary, I wanted to thank you for your continued support for my latest purchase of the Autel ADAS Calibration system. You provided the training we needed and most importantly you provided a direction when calibrations needed a little more technical advice. I've had the good fortune of finding you many years ago to supply my necessary computer scan tools to stay current and relevant in this ever-changing environment. I use the analogy of running a business is like being a captain of a ship. My job is steering the ship and plugging the money holes all while navigating into calm profitable waters. After 36 years in business, I can say buying from you and attending many of your Technical Training classes has directly facilitated my continued success in the Auto Repair business. I've owned the Autel ADAS system for over a year. HUGE Success. Your extensive technical training background has led you to a great business opportunity to provide a valuable needed service that many garages and body shops don't provide. Most cars leave body shops and repair facilities not getting the necessary Calibrations. The more I know the more I see the opportunity to make cars safer for everyone. One of the lessons I've learned is that business owners don't tell other businesses where their Honey hole is. Buying from you with your training and after purchase support is a honey hole they don't have to miss out on.

My Name is Steve Timm, I own and operate Ultimate Auto Glass in Oregon, Wisconsin. I have worked in the auto glass industry for 8 plus years, and recently expanded into ADAS calibrations due to the increased number of vehicles needing safety features recalibrated. I connected with Gary in the spring of 2023 through the Autel website via email. With Gary’s help I purchased an IA600 in the Fall of 2023. After receiving my equipment, my wife and I flew out to the training facility north of Boston. The training was great, I learned all I needed to start calibrating and invoicing the body shops and costumers I service. Learning about ADAS think has helped me understand what needs to be recalibrated on the vehicles in order for them to run as safe as possible for my costumers. Using the Autel system is easy and fast. I am able to calibrate virtually any vehicle that needs to be done. If I do run into issues and need some advice or help on what to do next, I know I can always call for help. Gary has always answered or returned my calls right away and always helps me figure out the problem I have. I have never experienced such hands on training and continued support following training as I did with Gary and his team. They are always there for you every step of the way. From the time you decide to purchase your equipment, when you receive it, when you get trained, and following your training. He does not disappear on you and is always willing to help you if you run into issues or need advice. Thank you so much again to Gary and his team. Steve Timm, Ultimate Auto Glass

I am a bit of an outlier in the Calibration space. I have an M.B.A. with a focus in finance and my background is in Fintech startups. Alongside another fintech startup I was working on, I started an ADAS calibration business with a mechanic friend of mine in 2021. I brought the business acumen, and he brought the technical acumen. We have grown that business from nothing to $3MM+ in ADAS related revenue annually. My partner decided that the business was too big for him already and wanted to just stay local. I decided to branch off on my own and really go after the space. I have the experience of running and scaling businesses but needed training on the technical side. I don’t need to be an expert, but I need to be functional. We used all Autel tooling, so my business partner and COO Scott, attended the first in person training at the Autel HQ. That is where we met Gary. We hit it off immediately. After Autel training, we ordered our first set of tooling from Gary, an MA600 all systems with an ultra-tablet upgrade. Pricing was in line with market, but we received much greater value from Gary and the team than I did from any other supplier. In business I have learned that price and value are two very different things. Later my business partner Scott and I flew to Gary’s facility in Mass to be trained. While I expected to get hands on experience with the IA900 and MA600, what I didn’t expect was what I learned on the back end. In my other business, my average ticket, including large mechanical bills, are roughly $450. Gary showed me how to maximize tickets, something he has learned from years in the business, and all backed by OE position statements. My average ticket at the new co is over $700 without any mechanical jobs. All calibrations! This has drastically improved my new operation. Since launching Evergreen Calibration in December of 2023, just 60 short days ago, we have enough business that we are looking for our second technician and have ordered an additional MA600 and an IA900 for our static location in Kirkland Washington. The support and friendship I have received from Gary & Co has certainly made an impact on our business in a positive way. He provides the greatest value of any supplier that I have ever used. We sincerely appreciate you.

My name is Beth Millis and I'm the Business Manager of Beaverton Auto Body and Paint. I've been in the automotive refinish industry for 25 years. We connected with Gary with AATI when we emailed Autel. Gary was quick to get in contact with us and made sure he fully understood our needs. He conferenced with our team and answered all the questions we had. He provided us with a package that specifically met our needs. We traveled to his facility in Boston in February of 2024. The training we received was second to none. They provided hands on training, real time knowledge, a long-term contact, partnership, and friend. By the time we completed training, we had the knowledge we needed to implement our new ADAS calibration system into our business. Their great customer service didn't end when we left the training class. They continue to provide us with additional knowledge and problem solving, whenever something arises. We know we made the right choice purchasing from Gary and his team at AATI. Sincerely, Beth Millis

My Name is Sean Flynn. I have worked in the glass industry calibration windshield cameras for many years. Many of the body shops I currently service have asked if I would expand to do all their ADAS calibrations. I sent an email to Autel who connected me to Gary owner of AATI. The connection has given me all the tools I need to expand my business. I have learned how to market my company to collision shops. Gary included marketing materials, and a process to show a body shop owner how to import his estimate into ADAS Think software. I also received 2 days of ADAS calibration tutoring on actual vehicles from collision centers requiring calibrations, resets and re-learn procedures for many different safety systems. With Robs tutoring on the second day I was doing calibrations from start to finish all by myself. I will be able to go back to my business and start making money doing ADAS calibrations. It’s also a bonus I can call Gary or Rob for Tech support or any questions I may have.

AAT Gary is amazing! We reached out through email, and he wanted to come to our shop right away. He did not waste any time. We collaborated about the space required. We had multiple discussions. He was very professional, his advice was insightful, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable. He reassured us he would always be there to help if needed. He offered Training the works. This package was so incredible it made you doubt this is too good to be true. But it wasn’t. Gary is a man of his word. He did everything he said he was going to do and then some. From the time we agreed to purchase to receiving the products. Gary was there every step of the way. He is still helping us with our ongoing use today. He has always been there for us when we run into a snag. My husband went to the training He learned all he needed to start calibrating and invoicing. Understanding the Calibration process has helped us keep our customers safe. His continued support following training is bar none the best we have ever experienced purchasing any product in our lifetime. Staying current and up to date in this ever-changing automotive industry is very hard. Gary made it easy! We could not have bought this product from a better person and Company.
