Advanced Transmission has always believed that being part of the transmission industry means more than working on the vehicles that come through our doors.

Now, that commitment is taking on an even bigger role.

Key Takeaway: Crystal Shadis of Advanced Transmission has been elected to the ATRA Board of Directors, representing Area 7, which includes Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida.

For Advanced Transmission, it is an exciting milestone. For Baldwin County, it means having a local voice represented in leadership within the transmission repair industry.

Representing Shops Across the Southeast

Crystal’s new role goes well beyond Advanced Transmission.

As the Area 7 representative, she will bring the perspective of transmission professionals throughout five Southeastern states to the ATRA Board. It is an opportunity to be part of larger conversations affecting independent transmission shops, technicians and the future of the industry.

It also puts Baldwin County on the map in an industry Advanced Transmission has been actively involved in for years.

More Than a Membership

Advanced Transmission’s involvement with ATRA is not new.

The shop has made professional education, technical knowledge and industry involvement a priority. That commitment is also reflected in Advanced Transmission’s status as an ATRA Master Shop and ASE Master Shop.

Those credentials matter because transmission technology does not stand still. Today’s vehicles continue to become more complex, making ongoing training, accurate diagnostics and experienced technicians more important than ever.

Crystal’s election to the ATRA Board is another step in that same commitment.

What Does That Mean for Our Customers?

Most customers will never need to know what happens at an industry board meeting. What matters is what that level of involvement represents back home.

When you bring your vehicle to Advanced Transmission, you are working with a local shop that is actively engaged in its industry, committed to professional standards and continually connected to the people and resources shaping transmission repair.

We may be based right here in Baldwin County, but our involvement reaches much farther.

And now, Baldwin County has a voice at the table.

Local Shop. National Voice.

We are proud of Crystal for taking on this new role and proud to see Advanced Transmission representing our community across the Southeast.

Being elected to the ATRA Board is an accomplishment worth celebrating, but it also reflects something that has always been important to us: doing our part to make the transmission repair industry stronger, both here at home and beyond.
