Owner Growth and Leadership

If you’re running the shop, these sessions show you how to tighten up your processes, grow profit without burning out, and decide when it’s time to expand. You’ll hear from shop leaders who’ve been in your shoes and learn the playbooks they used to build teams and open new bays the right way.

Service Advisors

Advisors are the heartbeat of the shop, and these sessions are built to help you win at the counter. From handling tough conversations to boosting approvals without feeling pushy, you’ll pick up talk tracks, workflows, and habits that make every day smoother and more profitable.

Technician Skills & Trends

For technicians, we’re keeping it hands-on. You’ll get practical training on shop safety, diagnostics, and workflows — plus stay ahead of industry changes like EV service, ADAS calibration, direct injection, and new refrigerants. Real tools, real demos, real takeaways.

Tekmetric Platform Training

If you’re here to sharpen up on Tekmetric, we’ve got you covered. Sessions cover everything from Smart Jobs and DVI to the new Tekmetric Marketing solution and more. Whether you’re new or advanced, you’ll walk out knowing how to get more out of the system.

Product Feedback & Innovation

Here’s your chance to tell us what you need next. In these sessions, you’ll sit down with our product team, share what works and what doesn’t, and help shape where Tekmetric goes from here!

Tektonic is presented by Tekmetric, the leading cloud-based auto-repair platform trusted by 11,000 shops, but this event is for everyone in the industry, no matter your shop size or software preference.
