Individual Premium Member accounts are eligible for "Personal Use" of the premium membership features.

The Individual premium membership will allow you to search the iATN Knowledge Base for vehicles you are personally working on, from home or work, using a single concurrent connection.

If you need to support the work of co-workers or others, or simultaneously access the search features from multiple computers, or use the account for more than light personal use, please choose the Business or Business+ level instead.

NOTE: Remember that no matter what membership type you have, you should never share your login credentials with anyone. Excessive search volume or multiple simultaneous accesses may trigger usage limitations on your account.

Business accounts are eligible for "Business Use" of the premium membership features.

The Business premium membership will allow you to use the iATN Knowledge Base for normal business use at a single repair facility. This includes simultaneous search access from up to four (4) concurrent browser connections at a single business location. You will also receive the other Business premium member benefits, such as the public webpage aimed at advertising to potential customers, and advanced placement in the Repair Shop Finder.

TIP: If you would like your employees to have access to the iATN Knowledge Base and other premium membership benefits without having to login for them (allowing them to learn while at home or work), please consider a Business+ account instead, as it provides up to 4 sub-accounts for this purpose.

Multiple employees may search from your logged in business account, provided they only do so from your single business location. Only the person named on this business account should use this account from outside your business location, or to post messages or help requests on iATN. Be sure your log-in credentials are kept secure as this information could allow unwanted changes to your account, or trigger excess usage limitations.

If you need to support the work of a large shop (over 4 full time employees searching iATN), please contact iATN Billing at billing@iatn.net, and we can work out a suitable arrangement. The advantage of making an employee a sub-account under your Business+ premium membership is that they can use the searching capabilities and premium features at home, as well as at work. With the vast resources available to iATN premium members, this can provide an excellent source of highly educational material.

If you have more than one location, please establish a separate Business or Business+ account under the name of a trusted employee at each additional location.

Offer your techs unlimited automotive education with a Business+ premium membership.

One major advantage of providing key employees with access to the iATN Knowledge Base is their ability to do research and further their automotive expertise from home. The educational benefits alone are worth the small additional investment in your employees. For this reason, many shop owners choose Business+ premium membership so that up to four (4) of their employees can be setup as sub-accounts with full premium access to iATN. This feature is only $15 per month more than a Business accounts], and provides you with a $90/month value (when compared to upgrading four employees with an Individual premium membership).

If you need to use the Business premium membership features in more than one location, then you should consider upgrading one person in each facility to a Business or Business+ premium membership. In addition to the additional searching capabilities, this provides you with additional public webpages in the Repair Shop Finder, targeted at consumers.

If you need to support the work of a large repair shop (over 4 full time employees searching iATN from a single location), please contact iATN Billing at billing@iatn.net, and we can work out a suitable arrangement under the Business+ account program. The advantage of making an employee a sub-account under your Business+ premium membership is that they can use the searching capabilities and premium features at home, as well as at work. With the vast resources available to iATN premium members, this can provide an excellent source of highly educational material.

If you have more than one location, please establish a separate Business or Business+ account under the name of a trusted employee at each additional location.

To create a new iATN account, please have the new registrant fill out an application at https://join.iatn.net/. Once the account has been created, they can upgrade at any time by visiting http://members.iatn.net/upgrade/.

Remember that no matter what membership type you have, you should never share your login credentials with anyone else. If they were to login and use your account features from elsewhere, it could impact your own ability to use those features.

Business+ premium memberships provide you with 5 iATN accounts that can search the iATN Knowledge Base and take advantage of all other premium membership benefits: the primary account holder, plus four sub-accounts. All of this for a cost of only $45 per month.

Compare this to the $90/month cost of the equivalent: one Business premium membership (at $30/month), plus four Individual premium memberships (at $15/month each).

Even for those that don't have four employees, the Business+ account level begins saving you money once your second employee starts using iATN's premium features.

And the advantage of Business+ sub-account access is clear even with only a single employee: they no longer need you to sign in for them, they can use the account to research from work OR home, and they can participate and ask for help on iATN using their own account, while still having the premium features afforded by your Business+ account level!

The screenshot below shows you an example of what the sub-account management interface looks like for the Business+ account owner. As you can see, it's extremely easy to turn the sub-account feature on and off for your employees. We automatically display any eligible accounts for you -- those with the same company name and street address. If you have an employee that isn't showing up in the list, you can add them through the form at the bottom. They can be up and running in just a few minutes.
