To be nominated, products must have been launched between January 2020 and December 2020. All entries will be judged by a panel of automotive repair industry professionals on their ability to make vehicle diagnosis and repair easier and more efficient, as well as make shops more productive. 

All product submissions are also eligible for PTEN's People's Choice program, an awards program in which winners are voted on by PTEN readers. 

The winning products and companies will be announced in August. 

PTEN's Innovation Awards were established in 1999 to honor companies that innovate with new tools and equipment to help auto repair professionals excel at their job.
