Program Overview

Combining the high-performance history of RLO Training's Bottom Line Impact Groups and the Institute's SMART Groups, the GEAR Performance Groups (GPG) are so much more than your traditional automotive 20s groups. The Institute's groups are focused on creating a community of elite automotive professionals backed by industry-leading education and training. 

When you're a GPG member, we'll help you: 

  • Increase your profits 

  • Create custom strategies for your business 

  • Have support for every decision 

How do our Groups make this happen? By working off the three pillars essential to any automotive support group: 

  • Courage

  • Adaptability

  • Teamwork

For Shop Owners, Managers and Leaders

To build stronger management and leadership skills so that you can inspire, engage, and drive your team toward success

It's not rocket science. They (the Groups) are helping you identify the things that will make the biggest impact and giving support. You keep repeating the cycle and your business changes really quick.

Since coming into the group, it’s helped me to know my shop and what I need to do…The group has all that kind of support and you learn just from listening to your peers and your coach.
