PTEN presents the results of its annual purchasing study to provide an outlook of aftermarket shops intended spending plans for the coming year.

Our goal at Professional Tool & Equipment News (PTEN) is to make sure you have the best and most up-to-date information about the industry, so you can ultimately run a successful vehicle maintenance and/or repair business. PTEN conducts an annual purchasing study of its readers. And for the 2016 Aftermarket Profile, the first of it’s kind in the pages of PTEN, we took these survey results to provide an outlook of intended shop and technician purchasing plans for the coming year.
