Livonia, Mich.—ZF Aftermarket has announced that Greg S. Weigart of Kruse’s Auto Center in Saint Joseph, Mo., is the yearly ZF/ASE Aftermarket Master Automobile Technician of the Year Award . This is the fourth ASE Technician Award ZF Aftermarket has sponsored at the ASE Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet last month. The award recognizes an experienced technician in the field who represents high-quality training, automotive skills, and the importance of continuous education.
“We’re happy to congratulate Greg on receiving this award because it stands for more than being an excellent technician, said Tony Wallerich, National Sales, and Technical Training Manager. “This award is tied to the evolution of the automotive industry, and the people who have the grit to adapt. This award honors the outstanding maintenance and repairs award winners provide.”
Award-Winning Technical Skills
For more than 30 years, Weigart has worked in the automotive industry and has spent the last 24 years at Kruse’s Auto Center. Leading up to his career as a now Master Automotive Technician, he began his education at Missouri Western State University. Along with being ASE-certified, Weigart is a 2019 Gates/ASE Master Automobile and L1 Technician of the Year.
His interest in cars began when he was 14 years old with the purchase of a 1968 Firebird that needed repair. After two years of working on it with his dad, Weigart took a mechanics class in high school. Outside of work, he drag races and recently received an award for the Quickest Pontiac at Drag Week.
To qualify for the ZF/ASE Aftermarket Master Automobile Technician of the Year, the winner had to be ASE Master Auto-certified and have taken one or more tests in the automobile test series in any administration in the preceding 12 months and must have the highest average passing score on the A2, A4, A5 and A6 tests taken in the last 5 years.
ZF Aftermarket’s objective is that all market participants understand next generation technologies as well as the challenges they bring along with them and can prepare for at an early stage. ZF Aftermarket brands include Lemförder, Sachs, TRW, and WABCO.
