Masters School of Auto Body – Training That Makes A Difference!

I had a great time at Masters School of Auto Body.  It’s in a smaller town in Illinois known as Galesburg.  You can’t fly in, as they do not even have an airport for commercial planes. However, the extra effort to get there is worth it.  Dave Dunn and his son Rob Dunn teach estimating, cycle times, management, marketing, but more importantly to me they teach honesty, integrity, ethics and are committed to making a difference in the collision industry.  In fact, many of the principles they teach can improve any business, person, or family relationship.  

Dave is the author of a book called “Liquid Amalgam”.  In this book he explains the principles that made his body shop to be one of the top collision repair shops in the country.  People from all over the country come to his training to learn his techniques and principles.  As a successful shop owner, others noticed his success and wanted to know his secrets, which led to his consulting business.  Dave has traveled the world educating and consulting other shop owners.  Later Dave’s success as a consultant led to his current training facility, Masters School of Auto Body.  Read more about how Dave got his start.

We had the opportunity to tour his body shop, Dave’s Auto Body.  As you walk in you will see a very professional and friendly environment.  The office, metal, parts, paint, and detail shops all have ceramic tile floors, air conditioned, and very clean.  Great facility and outstanding folks.  If you’re considering attending one of Dave’s classes, I recommend that you do whatever it takes to make it.  I am confident that you will be a satisfied student and consume many ideas to improve your body shop.   I guarantee the training will make a difference and help you see a different perspective of how you do business.  

Below is a few video clips and photos that I took while there.  Be sure to check them out.  I’ve also started reading Dave’s book “Liquid Amalgam”, so check back as I may make a few remarks on future blog posts about the book.
