Throughout the year the pair will represent the division’s shop equipment to the automotive aftermarket.
Cook is known for his expertise in auto repair and video production.

Sanville is a former technician who currently works full-time as a podcaster and YouTube host as the “Humble Mechanic” which is a five-day a week video show. Topics on the show include how parts fail, tool and product reviews, understanding vehicle warranties, and how to become a better technician. Sanville is an ASE certified master technician with a passion for fixing cars, and helping people understand their cars. Like Cook, Sanville has more than 375,000 social media followers through YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Sanville attended Universal Technical Institute in Glendale Heights, Illinois.
