The scholarship recognizes a management-oriented member of the Automotive Service Association (ASA) Mechanical Division. The recipient receives $1,000 to be applied toward expenses to attend educational sessions and view the latest repair technologies and equipment during the Congress of Automotive Repair and Service (CARS), Oct. 10-13 in New Orleans.
Rudloff has worked in the automotive service industry for 17 years and has been a shop owner for the past 13. He holds several industry certifications and is currently completing the necessary requirements to earn the Institute’s Accredited Automotive Manager (AAM) designation. Rudloff is a member of ASA, where he is currently serving on the national Mechanical Division Operations Committee. When not working in the shop, he contributes his time to various community and industry organizations.
“I’m grateful to be selected as the recipient of the Tom B.
