Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, and Today's Class
This episode shares the inspiring story of Andy Roman, a new technician in the automotive industry, and how one toolbox changed everything. At Vision Hi-Tech Training & Expo 2025, Andy was surprised and overjoyed to win a professional-grade toolbox, generously donated by KUKUI and NAPA Auto Care. More than just tools, it represented a boost of confidence and a jumpstart to his career. Shop owner Dan Corcorran highlights the importance of supporting new talent through education, encouragement, and a strong shop culture. KUKUI and NAPA Auto Care are breaking down financial barriers for entry-level techs through scholarships and tool donations—investing in the future of the industry, one technician at a time.
