At Optimize Digital Marketing, we always love meeting with our wonderful clients, especially those who belong to the Automotive Training Institute (ATI). It's a great excuse to catch up and chat about all of the fresh new developments in auto marketing. 

Of course, we're also always eager to hear about our clients' fabulous results. That's why we've reached out to some of our customers to gather their testimonials. These auto shops have partnered with us for everything from managing their social media accounts to designing their websites. These ATI members have graciously agreed to share their experiences and results with ODM. 

Check out their video testimonials to learn more about how ODM is helping auto shop owners grow. 

Why Client Testimonials Matter

At ODM, we’re big fans of client testimonials. That might seem a little egotistical, but we’re not trying to toot our own horn — though we do love a good compliment. 

We’re passionate about testimonials because they’re real. They share authentic feedback from auto professionals, not paid actors or bots. When people hear good things from your actual customers, your credibility grows. 

Hearing ATI members share their experiences also makes it easier for other shop owners to relate. Just look at the testimonials below. Our clients are honest about their busy schedules and how they’re still figuring out social media. If you’ve ever struggled to find time for marketing or felt mystified by Instagram, their words will definitely hit home. 

ATI Shops Seeing Real Growth

We touched base with two of our clients to chat about their experiences with ODM. Check out their success stories for some inspiration.

Osmer Enterprises

Osmer Enterprises’ story will instantly sound familiar to any busy auto shop owner. Four years ago, the manager, Casey, decided to grow the business’s online presence. But she didn’t have endless free time to spend fine-tuning webpages or editing social media posts. 

That’s where ODM came in. We took over every aspect of Osmer Enterprises’ social media efforts, from designing ads to scheduling posts. 

“We meet with our account manager, Mason, every quarter, and we go over a plan for our ads and future posts,” Casey explained. “And he takes care of everything else from there so I don’t have to do anything. It’s great.” 

ODM also designed and maintains a personalized website for Osmer Enterprises. 

“It’s really customized and has a lot of personal pictures,” Casey said. “We love the way our website is set up.” 

"You guys also manage our social media, which helps me immensely," Casey continued. "It saves a lot of time for me while marketing to our new and current customers." 

With ODM’s help, Osmer Enterprises has steadily grown its online footprint and brought in new customers. Watch Casey’s testimonial to hear more about our partnership.

Northside Automotive

Like Casey, Gordon at Northside Automotive needed a helping hand with his online presence. While some auto shops have social media specialists on staff, he wanted to outsource the task to an expert. “There are some things that take a professional to understand,” he said. 

Gordon was drawn to ODM because of our knowledgeable account managers: “Tim, the guy I work with, is amazing. He catches things I never would have thought of.” 

“What I really like is when I occasionally get a bad review and want to respond,” Gordon continued with a chuckle. “He cleans it up for me and makes it sound nice.” 

Thanks to ODM, Northside Automotive has gotten its name out on many platforms.

“I’ve had customers tell me, ‘I saw you on Google or Yelp,’” Gordon said. “Facebook is big with my audience, too. I’m glad Tim handles it, because I don’t have time to learn all these tools.” 

Tune into Gordon’s testimonial for more insights about his work with ODM. He also shared words of wisdom about marketing as a shop owner. His biggest piece of advice? “Unless you’re a social media mogul, don’t cut corners.” 

Proud to Be Part of the ATI Community

We’re more than just a vendor — we’re part of the ATI family. 

We know, we know — every business claims it treats its clients like family. But at ODM, we actually walk the talk. We’re thrilled to be an ATI Gold Partner. 

We truly love working with ATI members. This community is filled with some of the most creative and just plain driven shop owners around. We’re inspired by your passion, and we can’t wait to help you grow. 

As an ATI partner, we recognize that every member has unique needs and goals. That’s why we tailor our marketing services to speak to your audience. Trust us — you won’t find any generic content or one-size-fits-all strategies here. 

Instead, we’re truly invested in getting to know your business and showing it in the best light. We work closely with ATI coaches to create tailored programs, including: 

• Digital automotive marketing: As auto industry experts, we know all of the lingo and trends. You’ll never have to explain what OEM means or how different seasons affect repair services. We use this specialized knowledge to launch powerful digital marketing campaigns that deliver results. 
  
• Social media management: Platforms like Instagram and Facebook have become customers’ go-to sources of information about businesses. But every painstakingly edited video or caption takes away time you could otherwise be spending with your clients. Let ODM handle it for you. We can help you brainstorm content ideas, respond to reviews, and do much more. 
  
• Website solutions: Let’s face it. An auto shop with no website can seem untrustworthy or unprofessional in our digital era. Avoid these issues by hiring ODM to design your website. We’ll include everything your clients need to know and optimize it all so you show up prominently in the search results. 

That’s not all. We’ve also partnered with other industry leaders — such as Epicor and NAPA — to offer the best services to ATI members. These collaborations help us grow your online presence and boost your reputation.

The ODM Difference

Here at ODM, we specialize in scalable solutions that fit any shop’s digital marketing and advertising goals. 

You won’t find any cookie-cutter marketing here — that’s just not our style, and it’s not what works. Instead, we’re committed to delivering customized services for every client. 

Our personalized efforts pay off with measurable marketing results. We use data analytics to track our progress and tweak our approach as needed. That way, you can see the results for yourself and make adjustments as needed. 

Discover what ODM can do for you by checking out more success stories from just a few of our amazing clients. You’ll find testimonials from customers like Natalie Griffin, who said, “I have seen our social media and reviews go to a new level in such a short amount of time.” 

Similarly, Aric remarked, "We're currently getting a lot more interaction on our website and Facebook page than we ever did before. A lot of people are making appointments with us online, which never happened before [working with ODM]."

What else sets us apart? Our level of empathy and connection. When we say "welcome to the ODM family," we mean it! 

Want to Be Featured?

Every ODM client has a unique perspective — that’s what makes you all so much fun to work with! Are you interested in sharing your marketing journey with other ATI members? If so, we’d be thrilled to feature you in a customer testimonial. Don’t worry — we promise it won’t be stressful. 

Or maybe you’re not a client yet, but you’re intrigued about how ODM can help your auto business grow. Perhaps you’re even wondering how you can get some client testimonials of your own. Great! We’re always happy to bounce ideas around and chat about marketing — it’s kind of our passion.
