Learn More About Auto Skills International

Auto Skills International was established by Patrick McDonnell in 2011, to support the education and development of bodyshop networks to meet the technical repair requirements of modern motor vehicle design and construction. 

Patricks practical background & 40+ years’ experience in the body shop and Insurance industries has enabled the business to establish core principles and processes that support development and delivery of manufacturer and industry recognised repair processes and standards across a significant number of global markets.

After completing the first major network development program in the Middle East – North Africa region in 2012, Patrick obtained technical training qualifications, and recruited additional qualified technical staff and training resources to increase the scope of service the business is now able to offer.

In 2015 Auto Skills International was registered in the Middle East, establishing a base that has enabled further growth into the European markets. 

Today Auto Skills International supports the Asia Pacific, Middle East – North Africa and European Regions with the capacity and capability to support programs and services from small projects to full bodyshop development turnkey solutions, network development, standards compliance and technical training, including EV readiness.
