Wix Filters is partnering with Babcox Media to sponsor the 2013 Tomorrow’s Technician’s School of the Year, Counterman’s Counter Professional of the Year and the Babcox TechGroup Best Tech program.
The School of the Year program (www.ttschooloftheyear.com), with O’Reilly Auto Parts as a partner, is a national search to find and name the best technician training school in the country. The award program is open to all high schools or post-secondary schools that have a subscription to Tomorrow’s Technician. Judges will review entry criteria and select the top school from each of four regions in the U.S. The winner will be selected from the four finalists and announced at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) in November. This is the sixth year a school will be recognized.
The Counter Professional of the Year award (www.counterman.com) recognizes an automotive aftermarket parts professional who continually seeks out education; is an example of the consummate parts professional; and is an ambassador for the aftermarket. This year will be the 28th year that Counterman magazine has named its Counter Professional of the Year, also sponsored by Affinia Group Inc. and Raybestos Chassis.
The Best Tech award (www.besttech2013.com) recognizes the skills and professionalism of today’s automotive technicians, from demonstrating excellence in the automotive service industry to engaging in the local community. This is the third year a recipient will be recognized.
