# Celebrating Shops That Are Raising the Bar Across the Meineke Network
[AutoVitals](https://blog.autovitals.com/author/autovitals)
May 6, 2026, 10:20:57 AM
At the[2026 Meineke Convention](https://meinekeconvention2026.com/) in Palm Springs, the top Meineke Car Care Centers were recognized for their success in 2025. A wide range of awards, including sales performance, operational excellence, customer experience, leadership, and more, were presented to highlight the centers and operators who are raising the bar across the Meineke system. As a long-time partner of Meineke, AutoVitals has seen firsthand how these high-performing teams leverage our technology and processes to reach new heights.
# **Meineke Foundation Award Winners**
These shops were recognized by the Meineke Foundation, part of [Driven Brands Charitable Foundation](https://www.drivenbrands.com/foundation/), for their charitable contributions in 2025. These teams show up with intention, giving back thousands of dollars to their community and to those in need. Helping these Meineke Centers grow their businesses is the goal, but using that growth to help others is the real win. We couldn’t be prouder!
Congratulations to these AutoVitals clients:
- **Greg Masewic and Marc Arnold**: Greg and Marc have been with us for over a decade, and we’re grateful to say that they are always pushing us to be better. We’re excited to see that they bring that same drive to their community.
- **Scott Martin:** With 38 locations using AutoVitals for DVI and workflow, we know Scott is a leader in charitable contributions and franchisee processes.
- **Bert Figearo**: Operating 32 Meineke locations, Bert makes it a priority to give back.
- **Ben Ramsay:** With 12 locations, Ben is always pushing Meineke, his team, and his software partners to increase effectiveness and quality to better serve his customers and community.
- **PARC Auto**: Across all 45 locations, using our DVI, workflow, and CRM, PARC Auto is a powerhouse. They show up for their customers and their communities.
- **Jason Pearon and Graham Briggs**: Successfully operating six locations, Jason and Graham have built an excellent team and focus on making a difference beyond day-to-day operations.
- **Drew Sprague:** Drew leads two successful locations and puts giving back at the top of his to-do list.
And a special shout-out to Meineke Center #4128, one of Jason Pearon and Graham Briggs’ locations, for being the top contributing center.
Congratulations again to these winners. We are grateful to see AutoVitals clients continue to use their success to make a meaningful impact.
# **Meineke Dealers Association Awards**
These awards were given by the [Meineke Dealers Association](https://www.meinekedealers.com/), a dealer-led advocacy and collaboration group, to recognize the Meineke corporate employees making the biggest impact for franchisees.
**Josh Smith** was named Operations Coach of the Year by the Meineke Dealers Association for the impact he continues to have across the network. His deep understanding of the Meineke process, AutoVitals, and Tekmetric was on full display. He consistently challenges his shops to execute at a high level, helping them turn strong operations into even better outcomes.
AutoVitals was lucky enough to co-present a breakout with him at the Meineke Convention this year, titled “Going from Good to Great with AutoVitals.”
**John Price** was honored with the Sam Meineke Legacy Award, recognizing his long-term influence across the network. Since our partnership with Meineke began in 2016, John has been one of the most influential voices in support of digital inspection adoption. He’s a big reason why DVI adoption is now over 80% across the Meineke system. John sets the standard that makes every shop better.
