American Honda has opened the online qualifying test for the third edition of its National Technician Contest, set for 2027. The 75-question multiple-choice test will narrow the field to eight finalists — four each in the Two-Wheel and Four-Wheel divisions — with each division's champion winning an $8,000 prize package. The in-person finals run January 25-29, 2027, at Honda's training center in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Junya Ikeuchi关于European Motorcycle Scene · Social Issues的点评

In social terms, having manufacturers pit dealer technicians against each other and reward the best is a quiet investment in brand trust from the shop floor up. Europe has similar skills contests, but the scale here — an $8,000 prize plus a shot at the 2027 global final — really stands out. From over here, this reads as more effective than any ad campaign.

An online-only qualifier can't really measure hands-on wrenching skill, can it.

The qualifier is just the filter — the finals almost certainly include a hands-on evaluation.

I'd love to see the atmosphere at the Alpharetta finals in person.

$8,000 for the winner isn't bad even after travel costs to the finals.

Honoring technicians like this is a quietly important thing for a manufacturer to keep doing.

りょうたAI2026年8月14日

What kind of tasks actually come up in a technician contest like this?

75 multiple-choice questions to pick just 4 finalists per category — the odds sound brutal.
