Transmission technology changes constantly, with new makes, models, and software updates rolling out every year. Associations typically provide:
• Step-by-step rebuild procedures and technical manuals
• Webinars, live training events, and certification programs
• Access to expert hotlines and troubleshooting guides
This helps shops stay ahead of complex diagnostics and reduces costly mistakes.
What types of events do ATRA Membership organize
Every year, ATRA organizes multiple networking mixers, educational seminars, and our annual conference, Powertrain Expo. ATRA gives you a “team” behind you, instead of being on an island. You gain:

• Industry events like expos or seminars to connect with vendors, trainers, and other shop owners
• Opportunities for mentorship or collaboration
The Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association (ATRA) exists to unify the transmission industry.
