As a former technician and now an Academy instructor, I know firsthand how important it is for techs to have a real voice in shaping our industry. That’s why I’m excited about the launch of the third annual Voice of Technician Survey from ASE and WrenchWay.
This anonymous survey is designed to capture what life is really like in the automotive, diesel, and collision fields. What’s working, what’s not, and what needs to change. Last year, nearly 5,000 techs, instructors, service professionals, and students took part. Their feedback helped highlight the biggest challenges in retention, training, career growth, and workplace culture.
If you’re a technician, instructor, manager, or student, I encourage you to take the 6–10 minutes to complete the survey. Your insights help us build more relevant training, support stronger career pathways, and ensure technicians are heard at every level of the industry.
I spent years in the bay before stepping into the classroom, and I can tell you, real progress happens when real techs speak up. This survey is one of the best ways to make that happen.
Take the survey, share your experience, and help shape the future of our profession. If you are in dealership management, please share the link with your technicians.
