PTEN is proud to announce the winners of its annual 2023 PTEN People's Choice awards. For the past nine years, our readers have been invited to vote for their top PTEN Innovation Awards nominees. This year, we are proud to recognize 26 companies for their innovative products that improve vehicle diagnosis and repair and boost shop productivity.

The PTEN Innovation Award winners were announced in our August issue and online, with a panel of judges selecting the deserving winners. However, the People's Choice winners were chosen by our valued readers. Earlier this year, we asked our readers to review and select their top choice for each product category via an online survey.
