Dr. Shoemaker was the state director of vocational and adult education at the Ohio Department of Education from 1962 to 1982. He was a major contributor to education, including the development of the system of career technical education programs in Ohio and the development of the two-year post high school technician education centers that have grown into the system of community colleges across Ohio. Dr. Shoemaker was also instrumental in the development of VICA (now SkillsUSA) in Ohio as well as nationally and the development of NATEF (now ASE Education Foundation) accreditation, ensuring entry-level automotive repair training programs meet standards set by the automotive service industry at the national level, according to the ASE Education Foundation.

“There are many individuals within the automotive service education field whose contributions continue to influence and inspire long after they are gone. Such an individual was Byrl Shoemaker, Ph.D.,” said Mike Coley, ASE Education Foundation president. “Few have done as much to advance technician education as Dr. Shoemaker. Each year, the ASE Education Foundation honors his memory with the presentation of an award in his name. It is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement for those outstanding instructors whose work reflects the same dedication to technical education modeled by Dr. Shoemaker.”

      By Counterman
      The Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA), a community of the Auto Care Association, presented the 2024 Art Fisher Award for Excellence in Education, to Larry Pavey, CEO of the Automotive Products Services Group. The award was presented on Nov. 3 by AWDA Vice-Chair Fletcher Lord III at AWDA’s 2024 Annual Conference in Las Vegas.
      AWDA’s Art Fisher Award for Excellence in Education is presented annually to an aftermarket company or individual that demonstrates outstanding commitment to education and training, either within their organization or throughout the industry. Given in memory of former AWDA Chairman Art Fisher, the award grants scholarships in the name of the award winner to two students enrolled in the automotive aftermarket management program at Northwood University.
      Larry Pavey, CEO of the Automotive Parts Services Group, has spent his entire career in the automotive aftermarket, starting in sales at Walker Manufacturing, then on to the BWD division of Echlin. He served as vice president of marketing for the Borg Warner, Niehoff and Whitaker brands.
      With Pavey at the helm, Echlin’s brake business made more than 20 acquisitions, becoming the largest brake supplier in the aftermarket industry. He served as president of Echlin’s North American Operations and later president of Dana’s Under Vehicle Group.
      Today Pavey serves as CEO of the Automotive Parts Service Group, a joint venture between the National Pronto Association and the Federated Alliance. He has been active in many industry associations, serving on the boards of ASE, AAPA, MEMA, the Auto Care Association and the AWDA Board of Governors.
      In 2016 Pavey was presented with the Martin Fromm AWDA Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2018 he was presented with the Jack Creamer Leader of the Year Award.
      His commitment to the automotive aftermarket is long and varied. He has worked on both sides of the supply chain. He is a quiet but effective leader and teacher who has had a major impact on the industry.
      Pavey has the ability to look at the industry as a whole and strive to do what is best for everyone to help them succeed.

      Cliff Hovis Named AWDA’s 2024 Outstanding Leader
      By Counterman
      The Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA), a community of the Auto Care Association, presented its 2024 Outstanding Leadership Award to Cliff Hovis, president of Hovis Auto & Truck Supply in Mercer, Pennsylvania. The award was presented on Nov. 3 at AWDA’s 2024 Annual Conference in Las Vegas.
      Each year, AWDA bestows this prestigious award, formerly known as the “Leader of the Year,” on an aftermarket professional who has contributed to the industry in a unique and significant way. The award is named in honor of former AWDA President Jack Creamer. 
      Presenting the award this year was 2023 recipient Mauro Cifelli, president of Vast-Auto in Quebec.
      The business was started in 1952 and has served Northwestern Pennsylvania ever since with 17 locations that focus on customer service, quality parts and experienced personnel. Hovis Auto and Truck Supply consistently provide training seminars in their dedicated facility that was opened in 2012 featuring the latest technology in both automotive and heavy duty. This creates an indelible bond with their customers and serves the industry by ensuring technicians can meet the demands of the latest technology.
      Hovis has been a tremendous advocate for Right to Repair by engaging his customers through in-person events, in fact his customer base generated over 1,000 letters to congress alone, adding in the social media side, and they have proven to be among the leaders in this effort. He has participated in both national and local advocacy efforts on this issue and is a tremendous spokesperson for the industry.
      Hovis has also been a loyal supporter of YANG, and his daughter Grace is showing her strength in industry service by recently completing her term as YANG chairperson. Hovis has also been an active member of the Auto Care board of directors, voicing his support of the AWDA community and association initiatives. His expansion into the HD and PBE markets has given the association a unique perspective to meet the needs of these critical segments of the industry.
      Hovis and his entire family operate their business with a foundation of integrity, which has allowed them to gain the trust of their customers, suppliers and the industry as a whole.
