Meet the founders of ATS Automotive, Andrew and Jennifer
A Labor of Love
Back Story Andrew and Jennifer met long before ATS Automotive came into existence in 2009.
It was during this time as a couple, Andrew shared his dream of one day owning his own shop, while Jennifer was certain her purpose was to become an entrepreneur, develop & serve others.
Little did either Jennifer or Andrew know until years later an opportunity would arise from the 2008 recession and disruption in the Automotive Industry that would allow for Andrew & Jennifer to combine their passions in life -
And go on to create what we all know today as, ATS Automotive.
​
From the beginning the passion and concept was clear ATS Automotive would be more than automotive shop - a place, both, customers and employees would always enjoy coming to. Andrew & Jennifer agree, and will never waiver on the belief that people are at the heart of everything done, "without our people we would not exist", it is this humble outlook they believe keeps their fan base and team growing.
