If my shop rebuilds transmissions, once we become a member are we considered a Rebuilder Member?
Rebuilder is the term used for the main member type of ATRA members. Rebuilder members are expected to go through an approval process and will be honoring the Golden Rule Warranty at their location(s). A membership services representative can assist you with determining the best member type for your business after asking you a few questions.

Do I have to obtain a separate membership for each of my business locations?
Yes, each business requires it's own separate membership to receive access to member benefits. We offer group pricing for multiple locations. Contact Membership services for details.

Do you offer group pricing for multiple locations?
Yes. ATRA offers several affordable pricing options for multiple locations.

Can each location in our group pay for their own membership dues?
Yes. Each location has the opportunity to pay individually at the individual shop rate. The group rates don't apply and if any of the locations within the group make late payments, it will affect the membership status of all locations. We advise choosing one location to submit the payment for all locations to prevent disruption of service to the entire group.

How long do I have to wait before I can use my new membership benefits?
New accounts are typically approved within an hour of receiving your membership request. Approvals take place during ATRA business hours of 7:00 AM-3:30 PM PST. Rebuilder Members have access to all member benefits during their 30 day probationary period prior to issuing and processing ATRA Golden Rule Warranties.

Does it cost extra to set-up my employees with their own access account?
No. Each employee in your shop may have their own account at no extra charge. This is beneficial to the employees as well as the owner. It encourages individual usage of the account while not making changes to the owners membership account settings.

Can I get access to the membership benefits without being a shop owner?
