Wix Filters Sponsors Several 2015 Award Programs

Wix Filters is sponsoring the 2015 Counter Professional of the Year, School of the Year and Driving Performance award programs. In collaboration with Babcox Media, Tire Review’s parent company, these awards recognize excellence in the automotive industry, from students to professionals.

“Wix wouldn’t exist without dedicated countermen, passionate students and superior automotive shops,” said Jennifer Gibson, brand manager for Wix Filters. “These programs cultivate future generations of automotive leaders and raise the bar on the industry itself. We’re excited to be partnering again with Babcox and can’t wait to see how this year’s nominees shine.”

Entering its eighth year, the Counter Professional of the Year award recognizes an automotive aftermarket parts professional who goes above the call of duty; continually seeks out education for him/herself; is an example of the consummate parts professional; and is an ambassador for the aftermarket.
