TESTIMONIALS

MWACA has helped me succeed as a service advisor. Due to the great training opportunities they provide, I have been able to strengthen my skills and further educate myself about the automotive industry. Because of MWACA, I have created professional relationships with other local repair centers in the Springfield area. Being involved with this organization has so many benefits for technicians, service advisors and shop owners.

MWACA has helped us in several ways. Primarily, we are able to pool our resources and bring training to our area we couldn’t afford on our own. It has been very helpful to have other shop owners to share ideas with. We all have many of the same struggles, it is nice to have a team to bounce ideas off of.
