Scott Just of SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service Nominated for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Technician of the Year
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.– SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service®, automotive aftermarket repair facility and flagship brand of FullSpeed Automotive®, announces Scott Just has been nominated for the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Technician of the Year Award.
The ASE Technician of the Year Award honors individuals who have truly distinguished themselves as leaders in the automotive service industry. This prestigious recognition celebrates the best of the best across a variety of sectors, including automotive service, collision repair, truck and school bus maintenance, parts, education, and training. Recipients of this award are recognized not only for their technical expertise, but also for their commitment to advancing the industry.
While in college, Just began his career in the automotive aftermarket space, but it was his transition into management at SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service that sparked a passion for the business side of the industry. Over the past 22 years with SpeeDee, Just worked as a Manager and Franchisee, but eventually sold his location and stepped into the role of General Manager. In his current role, he oversees eight locations across Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
“I’m truly honored to be nominated for this incredible award,” said Just. “However, what really matters to me isn’t the recognition – it’s knowing that we solve problems that other shops can’t, and we deliver a customer experience that sets us apart. Helping a customer when no one else can is what drives me every single day.”
As a leader, Just fosters a family-like atmosphere where team members feel supported, valued, and motivated to advance in their careers. He prioritizes building strong relationships and earning the trust of everyone he works with – whether employees, customers, or business partners. Just is also passionate about providing his team with the knowledge and training they need to stay ahead of industry trends, ensuring they’re always prepared to meet the challenges of automotive technology and service.
“Scott embodies SpeeDee’s values and has been a driving force behind our brand’s success in the Northeast,” said Scott Accardo, Vice President of Operations for SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service. “His commitment to excellence, talent development, and innovation has made a huge impact on his team and the entire SpeeDee network, making him a worthy recipient of the ASE Technician of the Year Award.”
