The Real Horsepower Behind Automotive Influencers [THA 408]
Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Auto-Fix Auto Shop Coaching, and Today’s Class
Who are the innovative influencers of the automotive industry—the unsung heroes behind the tools and technology Technicians/Technology Specialists rely on every day?
“Most of the industry doesn’t realize that a large portion of technology used every single day came from a very small group of people that nobody knows.”
“They’re not the ones you see online. They’re not the ones that have Instagram or TikTok or anything like that. They’d rather figure the car out or how something works.”
