“The support and participation of the car manufacturers is a significant and a historical development. Although they’ve provided training in the past, the industry has never experienced so many classes being introduced for the first time at one event. Service and repair professionals will benefit from attending, learning directly from the car manufacturers on how to repair the cars of today and tomorrow,” said Dan Risley, ASA President & Executive Director.
The OEMs have an opportunity to serve several segments of the automotive industry at one event. Leadership representing the collision, service repair, and insurance markets will be in attendance to gain insight on the latest in carbon fiber, high-strength steel, and aluminum repair, as well as service ready information and telematics. And, in addition to exhibit floor displays and demonstrations, several of the car manufacturers will be displaying their new model vehicles. Attendees can expect to see presentations, seminars, and training on the most up-to-date OEM technologies. Many of the OEM training programs are complimentary with the purchase of an Expo Pass.
