The success of our shop business management courses is second to none. Here's what our clients are saying:
"I want to thank you again for your presentation that I attended in Pittsburgh May of 2018! Much has taken place within my company since that meeting and as a result ALL outcomes have been positive. I have implemented many of the things that you instructed and I am proud to say that nearly two years later we are not the same company. Along with our financial successes and growth we have created a culture within our associates that in my twenty years in the industry have never witnessed. I have had zero turnover, ALL of our associates have bought into what we are striving to accomplish as a company. Our efficiency has greatly improved and increased, the technicians are holding themselves and each other accountable in regards to their quality, professionalism, and commitment to our clients, as well as the company. I have become a President/CEO that manages a successful business, as opposed to a truck mechanic that allowed the business to manage me. Just as I hold my associates accountable to their responsibilities I have my associates hold me accountable for mine. I strongly believe that this success would not have been possible if I had not made the trip to Pittsburgh. I am continually looking to improve and getting more in depth with the implementation of all of your recommendations as I have gradually brought the change in. We have several growth opportunities that lie ahead, the future is bright. During that meeting when you and I connected afterward you asked me what my passion was, I answered with much uncertainty and you informed me that I needed to discover what it was. Bob, I found it...... I'm doing it!!! I want to be an industry changer! During that meeting you discussed how we are professionals, not any different than doctors, lawyers, bankers etc... therefore we should look professional in our appearance dress slacks/shirt etc.... That was the one comment that I disagreed with you on, thinking that my customers would be put off with that. Well I must say that the last couple of weeks that issue has been on my mind, I hear from my clients that we are extremely professional, but I think soon I will improve that by dressing like a professional. I hope that we can connect again soon, I would be thrilled to attend another session. Keep up the fantastic work you are doing to the industry."

Re: Bob Greenwood -"Serious, funny, full of knowledge. If you are serious about wanting to be a successful, professional organization for the future, you need to learn and understand the business and everything covered in this shop management course."

"To the graduates of this shop management course, Congratulations!! I am delighted {as witnessed by your comments}, that you found the shop management course exceeded in value your investment in time and effort. This was the third shop management course we have sponsored, and your responses make worthwhile the money & time investment on our part. As the final comment, states "Now!! We have to implement".
The implementation of the "process", defines what we stand for at GORWOOD. We have successfully together "implemented" with our clients with proven results not just "theory". The result?, demonstrative mutual profitability for both business partners. A "culture" of together saying, "I will not let you down"! The future of our industry depends on it.
To those, who either never have, or have not taken the shop management course for a few years. I submit it would be the most intense three days you will spend, but from it you can achieve a true current comprehension of the Canadian automotive service industry. Reviewing published articles and manment letters of Mr. Greenwood while invaluable, does not in my opinion come close to the wealth of information imparted in the "live" shop management course. I submit that reviewing same, the e-learning centre and the "live" shop management course in tandem impacts an explosion of knowledge to embark on the two-three year process towards sustainable profitability. Just my opinion, I welcome yours. "

“Excellent knowledge and grasp of the industry. During the past 5 years we have asked several professionals, i.e. CA’s, CGA’s, Consultants, at great expense, for answers to some of these financial questions. NO one has been able to answer them! We knew there had to be answers somewhere. You’ve provided them. It would not be an understatement to say that if we hadn’t attended your shop management course, our eventual demise would be within sight. This shop management course has provided the answers we needed to make informed, future decisions for our business. Thank you!”
