Dave Luehr

Over three decades ago, Dave’s passion for cars and auto body shops set him on a path riddled with ups and downs that would define his personal and professional growth. He took his first entrepreneurial leap with nothing more than a one-hundred-dollar bill and a paint gun, only to lose everything in a few short years.

In failing, Dave recognized an opportunity for even greater success. Working as an operational expert and a collision process engineer for some of America’s top collision shops, he found a new purpose in the industry. His work in leadership roles helped him recognize the limitless potential of proactive leadership and streamlined operations in the collision world. Today, he lives to help others fulfill their limitless potential, in their professional and personal lives.

Dave is the founder of Elite Body Shop Solutions, is a sought-after keynote speaker, and is the author of The Secrets of America’s Greatest Body Shops. He focuses all his efforts on listening to what repairers need and spearheading an educational community of collision experts. Dave has devoted his entire career to inspiring and helping his international audience improve their businesses and their lives.
