WrenchWay is partnering with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) on its Voice of Technician Survey, which aims to help the industry understand what’s working and what’s not regarding technician recruitment and retention.

“Our partners at WrenchWay are committed to making the industry better for all stakeholders, and we are very pleased to collaborate with them on this important survey,” said Dave Johnson, president and CEO of ASE. “The feedback we receive will help us highlight what it is really like to work or teach in this industry. We will use the responses to identify challenges, spotlight opportunities for improvement and support positive change for technicians, students, instructors and employers.”

The survey is quick, only taking about 6-10 minutes, and current technicians, auto, diesel, and collision instructors, and students can all participate. Plus, those who complete the survey will be entered into a prize drawing, with winners to be selected on Friday, Dec. 12. Winners will be contacted by email after the fact.

Additionally, ASE and WrenchWay are working together on the School Assist All-Star Awards, which aims to celebrate collaboration between shops, dealerships, and schools.
