LEESBURG, Va. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) has declared June 7-13, 2010, as National Automotive Service Professionals Week. This year marks the fifth anniversary of National Automotive Service Professionals Week, created 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.
For 2010, ASE continues this recognition and has it listed in the 2010 Chase’s Calendar of Events, a popular reference book first published in 1957, which recognizes special events, holidays, federal and state observances, historic anniversaries and other celebratory traditions.
“Twenty-three states issued proclamations honoring National Automotive Service Professionals Week in 2009,” said Trish Serratore, ASE senior VP. “We will once again push to have all 50 states recognize the outstanding work done by automotive professionals across the nation.”
As in years past, ASE will provide a form letter and enlist the aid of local shop owners in each state to petition their respective Governors to mark this special week.
“ASE created National Automotive Service Professionals Week to acknowledge the skill and dedication of the men and women who service and maintain the highly complex vehicles upon which we depend so much for our day-to-day transportation,” said Tim Zilke, ASE president and CEO. “ASE is proud to help recognize these individuals for their commitment to their customers, their craft and the American economy.”
