The Ratchet+Wrench All-Star Award, sponsored by AutoZone, is back. If you or a shop owner you know is considered one of the rising stars in the auto care industry, now is the time to make your case.

Why Should You Apply? 

Ratchet+Wrench is one of the most well-known automotive trade publications in the auto care industry.

They also will receive a free pass to the 2024 Ratchet+Wrench Management Conference to be officially recognized in the presence of their peers and be invited to teach a session on how they achieved their success.
