Ready to Become Exceptional Operators
The Key Leader Mastermind is designed for service managers, general managers, and key operational leaders responsible for running successful auto repair shops every day.

If you’re a shop owner looking to develop capable, confident managers, or a shop manager ready to sharpen your leadership, communication, and operational skills, this mastermind group was built for you.
From The Desk of Greg Bunch
Dear Shop Owner,
Greg Bunch and the Transformers Institute team have seen firsthand how great leadership is the key to a high-performing shop. Yet, many shop owners struggle because they don’t have managers who can step up, take ownership, and confidently run operations.
Many shop leaders are technically skilled but lack the training, mentorship, and leadership development needed to become exceptional operators.
The Key Leader Mastermind was built to give high-potential shop leaders the training, systems, and support they need to operate at their full potential.
