In 2004, VeriFacts established two ACE Awards to recognize outstanding performance from individual technicians (The March Taylor Technician ACE Award) and collision repair centers (The Repair Center ACE Award) committed to attaining higher repair quality as measured through the VeriFacts Verified Quality (VQ) Program.

To qualify for an ACE Award, repair technicians must have been employed at a repair center that has participated in one of the VeriFacts programs for at least six months. Mark Olson, COO and co-founder of VeriFacts Automotive, said, “VeriFacts has had the unique opportunity to work with over 8,600 of the best technicians in the collision repair industry. Every year we have more talented technicians to consider and choosing the ACE Award finalists continues to be our biggest challenge.”

According to Audie Swedeen, Director of Operations, “We consider many different factors when deciding on a finalist. The VeriFacts executive management team evaluates technicians based on quality performance indicators as well as a positive attitude, coachability, teamwork and coaches’ nominations. There are so many talented technicians to consider and it truly makes for a challenging process.”
