Delphi Product & Service Solutions (DPSS) announced the winner of its fourth annual Delphi Dream Shop sweepstakes last week.
The winner, John Kessler, a technician from Maple Shade, N.J., will receive $10,000 to upgrade an existing workspace or build the ultimate dream shop. The prize is part of Delphi's Dream Shop promotion, DelphiDreamShop.com.
“This money will help me start my new career with a new shop,” said Kessler, an automotive technician. Having recently left a large chain establishment, where he had spent 12 years of his career, for a more family-friendly, independent shop, Kessler expressed gratitude for the Dream Shop prize winnings saying he will use the money to help secure a successful start to this next chapter in his life.
Kessler was one of three finalists flown to Detroit with a guest, compliments of Delphi, to attend the 2016 North American International Auto Show, visit the Delphi offices in Troy, Mich., and take the Ford Rouge Plant Tour in Dearborn, Mich. The other finalists were Tyler Carroll of Iowa and Mike Emo of Maine. The grand prize drawing took place on Jan. 14, 2016.
In addition to the grand prize, technicians that signed up at DelphiDreamShop.com had the chance to win monthly, weekly and instant prizes including action cameras, shop stools, fender covers, technician gloves, Delphi merchandise and more. The sweepstakes will return on Feb. 1 and will award a grand prize, as well as monthly, weekly and instant prizes through the end of 2016.
