We’re excited to see one of our own in the spotlight!

Owen Montgomery, one of our 2nd year ATEP students at Academy, was recently featured alongside Joe, our Fixed Ops Director, in Car Dealership Guy Daily Dealer newsletter. The story was the #1 top story of the day!

The article highlights Owen’s experience in the ATEP program, his growth within the automotive industry, and the impact of hands-on training and mentorship.

We’re proud of Owen and Joe for representing Academy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and Chariot Automotive Group so well. Stories like this show the opportunities ATEP can create for the next generation of automotive professionals.
