SHOP OWNER WE HAVE YOUR SOLUTION.  COME TO LEARN, GET INSPIRED, GO TO WORK.

Whether growing your first location, expanding to multiple shops, or preparing for an ideal exit. A Transformers Mastermind Group connects you with the right peers at your level, giving you the strategies, accountability, and real-world insights to scale smarter and faster.

Here’s Why A Transformers Mastermind Group is Different

Real Experience,

Real Results

Learn directly from industry experts and successful shop owners who’ve scaled from single-location shops to multi-million-dollar, multi-location businesses. Our members and mentors have grown from $800K to $30M, and you’ll gain access to the same strategies, systems, and insights that made that possible.

Individual Business, Proven Principles

There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for building a great shop. Every business has its own culture, values, and goals. That’s why a Transformers Mastermind Group provides proven tools, sound business principles, and real-world strategies that you can adapt to fit your unique vision.

Your Personal Board of Advisors

You’re not just joining a coaching program you’re joining A Transformers Mastermind Group of carefully selected shop owners who become your personal Board of Advisors.

Whether you’re dealing with technician shortages, marketing performance challenges, or profitability gaps, you’ll get real answers from shop owners running successful businesses today not consultants who’ve never been in your shoes.

Is A Transformers Mastermind Group Right for You?

You belong in A Transformers Mastermind Group if:

  • Your shop generates at least $800K in annual revenue — up to $30M+

  • You’re a growth-minded owner, serious about scaling your business

  • Build a leadership team so you are not stuck in the day-to-day grind

  • You’re looking for honest feedback, accountability, and practical strategies

  • You want direct access to real-world solutions and proven processes used by top-performing shops today

This is not for beginners, hobbyists, or owners looking for quick fixes.

Wait for your signal

At this level, who you surround yourself with matters. That’s why every Transformers Mastermind Group is carefully curated — matching you with owners at a similar revenue level, leadership stage, and growth trajectory.

These high-trust groups meet regularly to:

  • Solve real-world problems in real-time — from hiring struggles to profitability gaps to leadership challenges.

  • Share what’s working right now — proven strategies, systems, and tools top-performing shops use today.

  • Hold each other accountable — so you’re constantly moving forward, not slipping back into old habits.

  • Push each other to think bigger — whether you’re growing a $2M shop or scaling a $20M+ operation.

Led by a seasoned Transformers Institute expert and supported by the combined wisdom of your peers, your Transformers Mastermind Group becomes your personal advisory board — and your unfair advantage.

NOTE: We carefully match every member to ensure the right fit for you and the group. That’s why we only accept owners who are serious about growth and open to giving and receiving honest feedback.

Who's in the Mastermind

Quarterly Strategic Mastermind Meetings

Each quarter, your Transformers Mastermind Group meets in person for a Two-day Strategic Mastermind Meeting.

  • Collaborate with owners at your level, sharing wins, challenges, and proven solutions.

  • Learn directly from Transformers Institute expert mentors, successful peers, and select guest speakers.

  • Deep dive into profitability, marketing, hiring, leadership, and more.

Hear From Shop Owners Like You

Have Questions?

We’ve Got Answers.

What results can I expect?

Real change takes real work—but it’s absolutely worth it. When shops commit to the process and implement consistently, they see steady, measurable gains: increased revenue, stronger advisor performance, higher customer retention, and more freedom for the owner. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a proven path to lasting transformation.

How is Transformers Institute different?

Transformers Institute isn’t just another coaching group—we’re the only team built by shop owners, for shop owners, with a laser focus on transforming front-counter sales. While others talk theory, we deliver real-world results by training your team directly, driving accountability, and building a high-performance culture from the ground up. If you want ra-ra, go elsewhere—if you want results, you’re in the right place.

How do the programs work?

We meet shops where they are—and then push them to where they should be. Our programs are built on three pillars: Sales Training That Sticks – Through our Transformative Sales Mastery (TSM) system, we coach service advisors weekly on converting more calls, closing more tickets, and building lasting customer trust. Accountability That Drives Action – We don’t just teach—we track. Advisors set goals, report results, and get personalized coaching to improve every week. Community and Culture – Our shops don’t go it alone. We’ve created a high-performance tribe of owners and advisors who sharpen each other and raise the bar across the industry. We offer live events, on-demand video training, weekly coaching calls, and private community access, all tailored to drive real transformation on your business's front lines.

Who are the coaches and mentors?

Our coaches aren’t theorists—they’re real-world experts who’ve walked the walk. Every mentor at Transformers Institute has hands-on experience in the independent auto repair industry, from running multi-million-dollar shops to leading high-performing service teams. They’ve faced the chaos at the front counter, scaled operations, and built cultures that win. But beyond the résumés, what sets them apart is this: they care deeply. They don’t just train—they partner with your team, challenge your thinking, and hold the standard high.
