Business Tools | Friday June 4 Automotive Service Professionals Day Earns Fifteen State ProclamationsA total of fifteen state governors so far have issued official proclamations naming June 12th as National Automotive Service Professionals Day in their states.

The states issuing proclamations so far are Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.“We are pleased that so many state governors have signed proclamations to recognize the hard-working men and women in the automotive service industry,” said Ron Weiner, ASE president. “This is just one more step in helping to increase consumer awareness of the professionalism resident in automotive service and parts facilities across the nation.” The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) established National Automotive Service Professional's Day on June 12 to honor the commitment and dedication of automotive, truck and collision technicians, along with parts specialists and other support professionals who serve the motoring public. All will again be recognized in the 2004 Chase's Calendar of Events. Incorporated on June 12, 1972, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence was established as a non-profit organization to help improve the quality of automotive service and repair through the voluntary testing and certification of automotive technicians and parts specialists. Today, there are more than 420,000 ASE- certified professionals who work in dealerships, independent shops, service stations, collision repair shops, auto parts stores, fleets, machine shops, schools and colleges throughout the country. ©2004 Collision Repair Industry INSIGHT | FEATURED
