Why This Year’s Mobile Tech Expo Meant So Much to Our Team
Mobile Tech Expo 2026, Orlando, Florida
We’re officially back from the Mobile Tech Expo, and what an incredible few days it was!
Between the education, the conversations, and reconnecting with friends across the industry, MTE continues to be a reminder of why we care so deeply about pushing standards forward. This year, in particular, gave us several moments we’re genuinely proud of.
One of the highlights of the week was Brent presenting for Granite Business Planning.
He shared the same planning systems and business fundamentals that Revive Auto Detailing was built on, and seeing those ideas resonate with other shop owners and detailers from around the country was a meaningful full-circle moment.
Another major milestone was Ben earning his Skills Validated accreditation. This is no small achievement. There are currently only four detailers in New Hampshire at this level—and three of them work at Revive! There is a total of only 18 in all of New England. The certification process itself was in-depth and demanding, lasting just over an hour and thirty minutes, and included both verbal technical evaluation and hands-on polishing. Ben achieved his certification in less than a year with Revive, a true testament to his dedication, focus, and commitment to mastering his craft! We couldn’t be more proud of the standard he continues to set.
And because no MTE recap would be complete without a little personality, Tucker did it again. His beloved Dixie Pattern outfit earned yet another prize at one of the after-hours events, which this year featured a 90’s theme. He nailed it—just as he did at the Young Timers Event in 2024, part of the Concours d’Elegance sponsored by the Audrain Museum.
We’re back home and not only feeling inspired, but grateful for our entire Revive team. Events like MTE remind us that it’s not just about the craft—it’s about the people behind it.
