At the 2026 Meineke Convention 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 Dealers Association Awards

These awards were given by the Meineke Dealers Association, 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.
