Whereas, The automotive service professional, an invaluable member of the automotive
service industry, is a highly trained and skilled individual; and,
Whereas, The goal of the automotive service and repair industry is to provide
motorists with the best possible vehicle repair and service; and,

technical education and training; and,
Whereas, Automotive service professionals ongoing efforts to fix it right the
first time are worthy of recognition and appreciation for their dedication,
knowledge and expertise; and now therefore be it,
