ASE Connects

Building a Stronger Technician Workforce – Together

About Us:

ASE Connects (formerly WrenchWay) is a community designed to strengthen school–industry relationships, expand access to reliable workforce data, and promote and improve the industry.

Through ASE Connects, we’re helping build a more connected, informed, and effective industry—one where technicians, schools, and shops all have the tools and support they need to thrive.

ASE Connects—in partnership with WrenchWay—helps shops, dealerships, and OEMs build the technician pipeline while gaining valuable tools and insights that improve recruiting, retention, and performance.

Why Join ASE Connects?

Every shop, dealership, and business in our industry depends on great technicians. Between the technician shortage, disconnected school relationships, and lack of trustworthy workforce data, it makes it difficult for shops to plan, hire, and grow. ASE Connects brings these solutions together in one place.

With ASE Connects, shops can:

  • Build strong, ongoing relationships with local schools
  • Access real-time, verified data on technician pay, benefits, and customer labor rates
  • Stay ahead of workforce trends instead of reacting to them
  • Support the future of the industry

Nearly 70% of job seekers visit a shop’s website before deciding whether to apply. Take a look at your own website. Is there anything useful there for a technician to see why they should work for you? If not, they likely won’t apply. The Top Shop Career Page makes sure that traffic doesn’t go to waste. Easily create a polished career page—filled with the information technicians actually want—without needing IT support.
