Matthew Wolfe of Rebersburg, Pennsylvania, was named the 2018 Mitchell 1/Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Technician of the Future during the ASE Fall Board of Governors Meeting and Annual Technician Awards, held recently in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Wolfe received a $1,000 cash prize, a one-year subscription to ProDemand auto repair software from Mitchell 1 along with airfare and hotel accommodations to attend the event to receive his award.

“We congratulate Matthew on being named the 2018 Technician of the Future,” said Nick DiVerde, senior marketing director, Mitchell 1. “His accomplishments have demonstrated his commitment to excelling in his chosen field and we know he will be successful in his future endeavors.”

He sees the value of his ASE certification as it allows him to have confidence in his automotive knowledge and it’s a way to let customers know that their cars are in good hands.
