Training & Certifications

Our Commitment to Development

At PBAS, we believe that investing in our people is investing in our future. We're committed to providing the training, resources, and support our team members need to excel in their careers and reach their full potential.

Technician Training

Our technician training philosophy is built on hands-on experience combined with structured learning. We believe the best technicians are developed through:

Direct mentorship from experienced technicians
Real-world diagnostic challenges
Exposure to diverse vehicle makes and models
Progressive skill-building across specialties
Access to modern tools and equipment

Whether you're just starting out or looking to specialize, we provide the pathway to master your craft.

Advisor & Leadership Growth

Technical skills are just part of the equation. We invest equally in developing strong service advisors and leaders who can:

Communicate clearly with customers
Build trust through transparency
Manage shop operations effectively
Lead and motivate teams
Make sound business decisions

Many of our shop managers and regional leaders started as technicians or service writers. We develop leaders from within.

Every great technician, advisor, and leader had someone who took the time to teach them. At PBAS, mentorship isn't optional—it's built into how we operate.

Paired Learning

New team members are paired with experienced mentors who guide their development.

Open Door Culture

Questions are encouraged. There's no such thing as a dumb question when you're learning.
