The Automotive Management Institute (AMI) in conjunction with Babcox Media has announced Steve Geiling, owner of Geiling Service Inc. in Metairie, La., as recipient of the Tom B. Babcox Memorial Scholarship.
The scholarship recognizes a management-oriented member of the Automotive Service Association (ASA). 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) to be held July 30-Aug. 2 this year in Detroit.
Geiling has worked in the automotive service industry for 37 years and has been a shop owner for the past six years. He holds several industry certifications and earned the Institute’s Accredited Automotive Manager (AAM) designation in 2010. When not working in the shop, he contributes his time to various industry and community organizations.
“I’m grateful to be selected as the recipient of the Tom B. Babcox Scholarship and to be given this opportunity to improve my management skills and share that knowledge with those I work with,” said Geiling.
