No Summer Slowdown Here—NWACA Is Full Speed Ahead!
While the rest of the world gears up for flip-flops and poolside breaks, the Northwest Auto Care Alliance (NWACA) is leaning into summer with purpose, planning, and plenty of opportunities to connect, grow, and lead.
If you thought summer was for slowing down, think again! June kicks off a full season of high-value events designed to educate, energize, and engage our incredible community of auto care professionals. And at the heart of it all? Mentorship, peer learning, and real conversations that elevate your business.

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming up:
🏕️ NWACA Summer Retreat – June 26 – 29, 2025
Join us on the green for one of our most fun and popular events of the year. Our annual golf tournament is more than a getaway—it’s a chance to build deep, lasting relationships with peers who get the challenges and opportunities in this industry. Between rounds of golf and retreat sessions, expect meaningful discussions, informal mentorship moments, and strategies you can bring home to your shop.
⛳NWACA Golf Tournament – August 13, 2025
Registration for this popular event is coming soon! This annual golf tournament is taking place at the Auburn Golf Course, located at 29630 Green River Rd. SE in Auburn, WA.
✅ ATE Spokane – September 13 – 14, 2025
Back and better than ever, ATE Spokane brings world-class training to Eastern Washington. But it’s not just about the technical workshops and management sessions—it’s about being in the room with professionals who have walked the path you’re on and are ready to share what works. That’s peer learning at its best.
This fall, we’re heading to Reno for another powerful learning opportunity. ATE Reno is where knowledge meets community—and where new shop owners can find guidance, seasoned leaders can mentor rising techs, and everyone can stay sharp in a fast-evolving field.

- Expand event offerings and refine programming
- Plan our upcoming Leadership Conference in September
- Strengthen industry partnerships that benefit all our members
- Build training tracks that reflect your real-world challenges
And most importantly, we’re creating spaces where mentorship can happen naturally—whether it’s a hallway chat after a session, a conversation over coffee, or a one-on-one moment that sparks a new direction for your business.
Why NWACA Events Matter
Every one of these events—whether it’s a casual round of golf or a packed ATE schedule—is built around the same goal: to help you succeed. And we know the best ideas, breakthroughs, and business upgrades happen when people come together.
