For the month of June, our topic of the month was all about great owners & managers. We encouraged our WrenchWay Top Shops to submit videos highlighting how their owners and managers build and foster relationships with the technicians in their shop.

These types of videos are easy for shops owners and managers to create, and it’s an effective way to attract technicians to their shops. Check out some of our favorites below.
