In a commitment to recognizing and raising the professionalism of the automotive service industry, of Missouri/Kansas will be presenting a service facility with the “Best Dressed Shop” Award.

Their group picture will be taken so that it can be reviewed by the Awards Committee. The “Best Dressed Shop” Award will be presented during ASA Mo/Kan’s Awards Dinner & Comedy Night on Saturday evening, March 7.

They have a very clean and professional image,” said Jerry Holcom, ASA Mo/Kan Awards Committee Chairman. “We want to recognize those shops and their employees, as well as encourage other service professionals to help us raise awareness and professionalism in our industry.”
