Each 2018 Pep Boys ‘Tech of the Year’ was recently given their
award in presentations at regional leadership meetings. The
recipients were chosen based on the quality and volume of the
technician’s work; record of excellent customer service efforts;
and a proven commitment to ongoing professional development and
continuing education. The respective stores of each ‘Tech of the
Year’ also have the distinction of being the “home” of one of the
Company’s most outstanding technicians.

“Race to 2026” initiative, a commitment to help fill the
industry-wide technician talent gap projected to be at 46,000 in
seven years. The Race to 2026 program includes initiatives to
attract those to the skilled trades, while supporting the Icahn
Automotive Group’s own employee network through this and other
similar recognition programs, tuition assistance, an apprenticeship
program and additional company-sponsored training and
certifications.
