APRA volume transmission remanufacturing group clinic

The Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association's Volume Transmission Remanufacturing Group (VTRG) will meet on March 29 in conjunction with SHOWPOWER at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Dallas.

On Thursday, March 29, the VTRG will start the day at 8 a.m. with tours of Bishop International where the group will visit Bishop's facility where they remanufacture manual transmission units and reclaim automatic transmission hard parts. After the tour the group will depart for AER’s massive engine remanufacturing plant.

“This state-of-the-art facility will be very educational regardless of what products one remanufacturers,” stated Jim Slimp, Chairman of the VTRG.

After the plant tour, AER will treat the group to a luncheon in their museum, where they have a very large collection of classic vehicles and then it will be back to the hotel for an afternoon of seminars and finishing up with a Texas BBQ.
