The Institute
Northwest Auto Care Alliance is partnering with The Institute to bring you training.
THE INSTITUTE ANNOUNCES THE AUTOCADEMY(tm)
A New Standard for Training, Alignment, and Growth in Auto Repair Shops
The Institute is officially introducing The Autocademy™, a new learning and development ecosystem designed specifically for modern auto repair businesses.
Developed by The Institute’s coaches, trainers, and facilitators, the Autocademy is grounded in decades of real-world automotive leadership experience. Thousands of hours have gone into scripting, recording, and structuring content that is practical, repeatable, and immediately applicable inside an operating shop.
The Autocademy is a structured, role-based training platform built to create stronger teams, more capable leaders, and healthier operations, all delivered through one unified ecosystem.
As part of this launch, The Institute will officially transition away from the Gear Course Library and move to a more modern, guided, and community-driven training experience. The Autocademy represents the next chapter in how we equip shop owners and their teams for long-term success.
Built for the Entire Shop
The Autocademy consolidates essential training across leadership, marketing, financial performance, operations, management systems, sales, team development, and long-term planning. The focus is on execution, accountability, communication, and decision-making across every role in the business.
Each learning path is aligned with the responsibilities and challenges of that role, ensuring training is relevant, consistent, and easy to implement across teams.

About the Event
“This Leadership Intensive has become the baseline foundation of our company’s industry-leading growth and financial performance.” – Brian Bates, EAS Tire & Auto CEO and Straightaway Tire & Auto co-founder
PEOPLE RARELY OPTIMIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL IN LIFE OR CAREER…
For centuries leadership theory has focused on how leaders could get more from their teams, for the organization’s benefit – coercing, manipulating, or forcing individuals to work ever-harder. This never works well, because humans naturally push back when pushed.
Modern neuropsychology and business science combine to offer a proven, superior leadership approach. This highly-esteemed Leadership Intensive course teaches business owners and key leaders how to motivate team members from within themselves. And how to design your organization to create repeat-championship teams that deliver continuous, record-setting operational and financial results.
