Honda National Technician Contest Returns For Year Two With Exciting Prizes And Competition
The Honda National Technician Contest is back for its second year, inviting technicians from Honda dealerships to showcase their skills. The competition aims to highlight the technical training programs offered by Honda Powersports. Technicians will compete in an online qualification test, with eight finalists advancing to the finals in Alpharetta, Georgia, where they will vie for $16,000 in prizes.
Finalists will be selected through a 75-question multiple-choice online test. This test is open to all active Honda Powersports technicians, except past National Champions. The top eight performers—four from the Two Wheel class and four from the Four Wheel category—will earn an all-expenses-paid trip to the National Finals at Honda's Alpharetta Training Center from January 26-30, 2026.
During the finals, participants will engage in both on-vehicle and off-vehicle challenges. They will be evaluated based on their technical knowledge, technique, procedures, precision, and speed. Each of the two National Champions will receive prize packages valued at $8,000.
"The inaugural Honda National Technician Contest was a great success, so we're happy to confirm the competition's return for year two," stated Jeremy Merzlak, American Honda Director of the Aftersales Experience Division. "The event showcases the impressive level of technical capability and know-how offered at U.S. Honda dealerships."
Winners from 2025 through 2027 will have a chance to compete internationally. They can qualify for the Honda Global Technician Contest in Japan in fall 2027. This opportunity underscores Honda's dedication to recognising and rewarding technical excellence on a global scale.
The contest not only highlights individual talents but also brings attention to those who typically work behind the scenes. Last year's champions were Joel Christensen from Southern Honda Powersports in the Two Wheel category and Jacob Curtis from Honda of Fairfield in the Four Wheel division.
