Standard Motor Products Challenges Automotive Repair Shops to Upload Team Selfies for Prizes

Standard Motor Products (SMP) is looking for a few good selfies.

The Standard “Shop Team Selfie” Challenge invites professional automotive shops to post a team selfie for a chance to win a prize that will benefit the entire shop – including a grand prize of $2,500 for a shop-appreciation event.

To enter, contestants must take a group selfie with their technicians and employees and upload the photo to Facebook, Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #MyShopTeamSelfie. All photos will be entered into a random prize drawing.

For the grand prize, one winning shop will receive $2,500 toward its next shop-appreciation event. Additionally, two second-prize-winning shops will receive a Bose SoundTouch 30 Series III wireless music system; five third-prize-winning shops will receive a Standard Pro Training On-Demand subscription; and 10 fourth-prize-winning shops will receive a TechSmart alternator decoupler pulley.

“Our ‘Shop Team Selfie’ Challenge gives us the opportunity to spotlight an important part of the automotive industry: hard-working automotive service professionals across the country who get the job done day after day,” said Phil Hutchens, vice president engine management marketing for SMP.
