WEBINAR: From Wrenches to Leadership: How Culture, Systems, and Weekly Meetings Create a Shop That Works

Fixing cars is one thing. Fixing culture is another. In this down-to-earth and insightful webinar, Tim Chakarian, owner of Beamer PhD Motorsports in Pasadena, shares his real-life journey from technician to shop owner and how consistent systems, especially his weekly team meetings, became the backbone of his business. Diagnosed with dyslexia and what he affectionately calls “Ultra ADHD,” Tim leaned into his strengths and turned challenges into structure. Starting with a two-bay garage, he built a workplace where people are heard, culture is respected, and the team functions with purpose. Tim’s five-part meeting framework has become a powerful tool not only for accountability and communication but also for hiring, retention, and growth.

You’ll learn:

- Why strong culture and leadership are key to a productive team

- How to run weekly meetings that actually matter, without wasting time

- What “Love Its and Learns” are and how they build connection

- The role of systems in solving problems and keeping everyone aligned

- How shop meetings can be used to attract the right hires and elevate morale
