ATRA’s Powertrain Expo Speaker Spotlight: Steve Garrett and Thom Tschetter

Don’t miss the ATRA Powertrain Expo, the premier event for transmission repair professionals, taking place in Nashville, TN from October 25th to the 29th. Featured technical and management seminar speakers:

Steve Garrett: ATRA Technical Seminar 2023

This is an encore presentation of the annual seminar that is given around the country. If you missed it, or it was at a location too far away from you, now is your chance to attend! We cover the latest need-to-know information on GM, Ford, Stellantis, and Import transmission problems and fixes. We also cover other transmission related concerns on the ‘other side of the flywheel.’

Thom Tschetter, Coach Thom Marketing: The History, Mysteries, and Myths about Warranties

Do you wish you could charge for comebacks or bury your mistakes like doctors do? Instead, we fix our mistakes for free.

In this session, Thom Tschetter shares stories that will make you laugh, cringe, and scare you. But one thing is certain, you’ll never view warranties the same way again.

Perhaps nobody in our industry understands the Magnuson – Moss Warranty Act and its revisions better than Thom. He began researching the 1975 Law when he owned a chain of transmission shops. He was a certified arbitrator and mediator for the BBB’s “Alternative Dispute Resolution Program,” specializing in warranty related disputes and has even owned a warranty company.

Thom will unveil the “Perfect Transmission Warranty.” It combines the powerful marketing advantage of ATRA’s Golden Rule Warranty Program with valuable customer benefits while protecting your shop and boosting profits.
