About Us
Who We Are
Top Wrench is a 501(c)3 non-profit drug-free vocational program developed for high school students as an introduction to team building and basic technical skills as they prepare for careers in the automotive field. We mainly serve students in East Tennessee.
Top Wrench was founded by Air Force veteran Joe Marshall. Since the first competition took place in 1991, thousands of vocational students have been positively influenced by our program.
What We Do
- Hold annual automotive skills competitions
- Help provide scholarships
- Provide grants to high school vocational classrooms for purchase of needed educational supplies
- Connect students with local businesses for automotive career opportunities.
Competitions
Top Wrench Competitions are held yearly in Knoxville, TN. Students showcase their automotive repair, wheel changing, welding and custom paint skills through 6 different challenges. Cash prizes and scholarships are awarded to winning teams!
In April of 2023, we held our 31st competition with hundreds of participating students from over 20 East Tennessee high schools!
