We are pleased to announce that Wheels is set to receive our fourteenth consecutive Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Blue Seal of Excellence certification for our Maintenance Assistance Program (MAP). The ASE Blue Seal of Excellence recognition is bestowed annually on organizations that meet specific criteria for ASE-certified professionals on staff.

ASE certification is a nationally accepted standard for measuring a technician's knowledge and skills. To become certified, individuals must pass difficult industry-developed exams, and then must be retested at regular intervals to remain certified.  In order to attain ASE Blue Seal certification, a company must demonstrate that at least 75% of its maintenance technical support technicians are ASE-certified professionals.

Wheels exceeds this standard by requiring that all of our MAP technical advisors become ASE-certified. In fact, the majority of our advisors have achieved advanced certification, with 29 advisors holding Master Technician or Dual Master status (car and truck repairs).  Seven of our technicians hold World Class status (car, truck and auto body repairs), which is the highest ASE recognition a technician can receive.  World Class certification is an extremely rare and prestigious distinction – less than 1% of all ASE-certified technicians have achieved that status.

Please keep in mind that Wheels will be hosting a special Ride & Drive event at the Mississauga Convention Centre on Wednesday, August 29.  Guests at the Ride & Drive will have the opportunity to test-drive the latest fleet vehicle models from a variety of manufacturers. The event will also feature a demonstration of new Wheels tools available to help make optimal vehicle selector decisions, as well as discussions on ordering best practices and other important industry topics.

Clients and prospective clients from both the U.S. and Canada are encouraged to join us for the Ride & Drive, and those who are interested in attending can click here to complete an online registration form.

The Ride & Drive is the second part of a two-part series aimed at showcasing Wheels selector development and remarketing capabilities in Canada.  The first part was a special remarketing Promotional Sale auction Wheels hosted at ADESA Toronto on April 18.

2013 model year National Fleet Incentives have been announced for fleet models from several manufacturers, including Ford, GM, and Toyota (U.S.).
