Default RE: Is your Dealer QUALIFIED???

Josh: I will certainly look forward to your visit. By the time you arrive, we should be finished with our renovation. Right now the place is a mess.[]

One thing that could help the PRO Shop industry is certification by the ATA. It's been discussed time and time again by them. Figuring out the way to do it is the real problem. One of the ways being considered is Dealer attendance at ATA seminars. A Dealer attending a certain number/type of seminars could be given a certification. I would also like to see ATA consider certifying not only the individual but also the shop. This would be a separate certification based on tools and facility. This doesn't make anything absolute when it comes to finding a good shop, but it is a guide and a method to educate.
