2014 Top Shops is underway

June 2, 2014
The contest will kick off again this spring, but if you'd like information on how to enter before it is released on our website, just send an email to Tschanen Brandyberry, Motor Age's managing editor.

Back again, the annual Motor Age Top Shops contest is here for you to show off how great of a shop you operate or work in. 

Every year, the contest searches for the 10 best shops in the country, highlighting an overall winner and nine other quality shops. To enter, download this form. It outlines the rules and all of the information you need to share about your shop. The questions inquire about your shop's marketing, social media and training programs, your involvement in the industry and community and how you came to own and operate the shop. You also will need to submit photos of your shop, because a photo is worth 1,000 words, you know.

Should you have any problems downloading the information on entering, send an email to Tschanen Brandyberry, Motor Age's managing editor. The contest runs June 2, 2014, through Aug. 29, 2014. The top 10 shops will be profiled in the December issue of Motor Age and featured online. 

Again, you can see all of the information on entering the contest in this rules and entry form. How to enter can be found about halfway down the first page.
