BETHESDA, Md. – March 4, 2026 – The Auto Care Association today announced it has once again been named a Great 
Place to Work® for the third consecutive year. The recognition reflects the association’s continued investment in its people and its commitment to building a collaborative, mission-driven culture. The certification is based on direct feedback from employees, gathered through Great Place to Work, which evaluates organizations on trust, leadership effectiveness, workplace equity and overall employee experience. This year’s results highlight strong marks in leadership transparency, professional development opportunities and overall team camaraderie.
This is the fifth recognition the Auto Care Association has earned for great workplaces, and comes in addition to earning the certification of “Great Place to Work” both in 2024 and again in 2025, as well as “2025 Best Small Workplace” and “Best Workplaces in Consulting and Professional Services.”

"Our people are our greatest asset and we remain committed to cultivating an environment where collaboration, creativity and purpose drive our success every day."
According to the association’s 2026 Great Place To Work® certification report, 100% of employees at Auto Care Association say it is a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company.
“We could not be more pleased with this achievement or prouder of what it represents for our organization," said Lea Diamond, vice president, people operations, Auto Care Association. “Being recognized for the third year in a row as a great place to work—and for the first time having 100% of our employees agree that it truly is—is an extraordinary milestone.”
