Polzin, who is the current owner and CEO of Budget Truck and Auto in Janesville, Wis., was recognized for his outstanding leadership, dedication and commitment to advancing the heavy-duty collision repair industry.

Polzin is one of the inaugural HDRF advisory board members and continues to selflessly give his time and knowledge to the benefit of the entire industry. His contributions to the advisory board have led to greater participation and support from collision repairers, insurers and manufacturers. His passion and desire to improve the industry is evidenced by a growing list of participation and support of various industry groups and associations.

The award presentation was extra special as Polzin’s son, Aaron, was in attendance. Aaron is also active with Budget Truck and Auto. Mark’s passion for the industry can only be rivaled by his love and commitment to his family.

“We are thankful for people like Mark, because they give without expecting anything in return,” said the HDRF.
