This award is for the Auto Care center and team who takes pride in the look of the shop, stays current with training and certifications, a team who goes the extra mile by getting involved in community activities or obtaining various achievements in the industry. This is a NAPA Auto Care center who truly stands behind the NAPA Brand.  \nNAPA/ASE Technician of the Year  \nThe NAPA/ASE Technician of the Year award was first presented in 1982 and continues to honor an outstanding individual who has risen to the top of their profession in the NAPA Auto Care system. Individuals are selected for this honor based on their ASE credentials, dedication to excellence in the automotive repair industry, customer service efforts, superior technical skills, and continuing education as well as community involvement.  \nNAPA/ASE Parts Specialist of the Year  \nIn 1998 NAPA began recognizing an exemplary NAPA Auto Parts store owner or employee as the NAPA/ASE Parts Specialist of the Year. The individual selected must demonstrate superior parts knowledge and business practices, show a commitment to customer service and training, and support the community in which he or she works, along with their support for ASE. In addition, the Parts Specialist must also provide outstanding service to the automotive parts, repair, and service industry.  \nRecognition  \nAfter the finalist and winner are chosen, the Auto Care HQ team will collaborate with the local sales team to coordinate recommended local recognition. The Auto Care HQ team will manage national recognition and the prizes for the winners. To view the previous years’ winners and the list of prizes, visit the NAPA ASE Award site homepage, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click into each category.  \nGetting Started   \nWinning this prestigious award is about more than ASE Certifications—it’s about demonstrating unwavering commitment and leadership to our industry, to customers, to NAPA, and to continuous learning beyond ASE. It’s about hard work, dedication, and going the extra mile. When crafting your nomination, be sure to emphasize why they are exceptional and deserving of this award!  \nFor assistance with the ASEcertification release status, contact ASE Customer Service to find out why the certifications are not visible at 703-669-6600 [from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m](from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m).
