Our Story
Amy and Jack met in the fall of 2005 when he started teaching at the Chicago-area college where Amy was a sign language interpreter. Fate put them in the same class that semester, and as they got to know each other over the years Amy was impressed with what a passionate and outstanding teacher Jack was. After years of working together and discussing the need he saw for in-house training for dealerships, especially to strengthen technician's diagnostic abilities, Amy, who thrives on solving problems, decided to establish DTS to fulfill the training and equipment needs of dealers.

Amy Venditti, President. Prior to founding DTS in 2014, Amy was the COO of two financial planning/accounting companies for 15 years. With the experience and insight she gained from the need to 'wear many hats' for these small companies, and her many years of experience interpreting for a local college's automotive training program, she saw the opportunity to use her unique set of skills and contacts and formed DTS.
