Timothy Suggs, owner of Turbo Tim’s Anything Automotive, 2823 Central Avenue NE, was named Pronto Smart Choice/ASE Master Automobile Technician of the Year. He received the award Nov. 18 in Scottsdale, Ariz., at the fall Board of Governors meeting of the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
The ASE annual awards spotlight top scorers on the ASE certification tests from among the ranks of the approximately a quarter million ASE Certified professionals nationwide. Mark Polke, Chair of the ASE Board of Directors and Timothy Zilke, ASE president and CEO, presented the award to Suggs.
“Tim, who owns Turbo Tim’s Anything Automotive in Minneapolis, is one of the outstanding ASE certified professionals recognized annually by different segments of the automotive service and repair industry. Each of these elite technicians is presented with an industry-specific award recognizing their achievement,” said Zilke.
In addition to looking for top scores on ASE tests, award sponsors examine on-the-job excellence, community service and other factors when selecting honorees. Zilke said, “We are proud to partner with Pronto Smart Choice to recognize Tim’s commitment to excellence in providing the very best in automotive service and repair. This dedication is reflected in the talented professionals we recognize each year and Tim represents the best of the best.”
