Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 PTEN People's Choice awards! These 23 companies are being recognized for their recent product innovations that make vehicle diagnosis and repair easier and more efficient, as well as make shops more productive.
This year, we received a total of 137 product nominations for the PTEN Innovation Award program and the winners were announced in the August issue of PTEN magazine and online. While Innovation Award winners are chosen by our esteemed third-party panel of judges, we want our readers to have a voice too. So, for the seventh consecutive year, readers were invited to vote on their top product entries to be recognized as 2021 People’s Choice winners.
PTEN's Innovation Awards were established in 1999 to honor companies that innovate with new tools and equipment to help auto repair professionals excel at their job. For the People's Choice component of the awards, readers voted for products in 23 categories via an online survey.
