NAPA Auto Care has announced its Team Tool Rebate program, which helps Auto Care center technicians purchase tools based on their professional needs.
The rebate percentage Auto Care centers receive is based on purchases made to NAPA throughout the year and is further enhanced for NAPA Gold Certified members.
According to NAPA Auto Care officials, the program was started to address a critical industry challenge — ensuring technicians have the right tools to be effective in their work.
“This new benefit, offered exclusively to NAPA Auto Care centers, is a huge step forward for our valued members,” says Jason Rainey, vice president of NAPA Auto Care/Autotech/AAA Preferred Partner.
“We recognize one of the largest barriers throughout a technician’s career is the cost of tools and diagnostic equipment. With NAPA being a leading distributor of these products and solutions, we feel confident the new Team Tool Rebate will address those needs for technicians. It will also continue to help our members attract and retain top talent while building strong cultures.”
The new Team Tool Rebate is paired with NAPA Auto Care’s Apprentice Program, which launched in 2020 as a free resource for members to grow young talent.
"The NAPA Team Tool Rebate is a groundbreaking opportunity that eases the financial burden on technicians, who often spend tens of thousands on tools just to do their jobs," says Roy Foster, owner of Roy Foster's Automotive in Reno, Nev.
"This program not only provides vital support but also serves as a powerful recruiting tool, strengthening the bond between technicians and NAPA Auto Care owners while fostering long-term career sustainability and loyalty."
