VeriFacts announces ACE Awards

Oct. 31, 2012

VeriFacts Automotive LLC today announced the winners of its annual ACE Awards.

The Awards, presented at the 2012 Collision Industry Conference Achievement Awards Luncheon at SEMA, recognize outstanding performance from technicians and shops committed to attaining higher quality through the VeriFacts Verified Quality (VQ) program. Winners must participate in the VQ program for at least six months.

The VeriFacts March Taylor Technician ACE Award was presented to Erik Endrade of Fix Auto-Tustin in Tustin, Calif.

“Erik is a quiet leader who is a perfectionist, respectful of others, always willing to lend a helping hand to his colleagues and goes out of his way to help others. Erik never asks what is in it for him, but instead asks what he can do for you,” said Audie Swedeen, director of operations for VeriFacts Automotive.

The VeriFacts Repair Center ACE Award went to Keenan Auto Body West in Edgemont, Pa.

“Keenan Auto Body West should be congratulated for excellence in collision repair achieving the coveted VQ Medallion and for adopting the mentality of fix it right, fix it smart, fix it transparent,” said Mark Olson, COO and co-founder of VeriFacts Automotive.
