Since 1986, we’ve worked inside automotive businesses, closing the gap between what’s documented and what actually happens on the floor. We serve automotive, RV, powersports, marine and truck dealers, plus collision centers and auto care shops. Whether it’s a franchised store, a body shop or a quick-lube bay, the moving parts look different but the people at risk are the same: the technician at the lift, the painter in the booth, the customer at the desk. That’s complete, continuous compliance: one system looking after the people across the whole operation. Vera Suite, our AI-enabled compliance platform, keeps inspections, training and corrective actions current between visits. Training is built on what actually goes wrong in a shop. And 150 consultants keep coming back. EHS, HR, advertising, sales and F&I, privacy and FTC Safeguards. More than 15,000 clients, including 40 of the top 50 automotive groups.
