LAS VEGAS, Oct. 31, 2012—I-CAR, in conjunction with Honda, will hold a press conference Thursday to discuss a range of topics, including information from a recent study on repair facility key performance indicators (KPIs).

According to a release_notes from I-CAR, Jim Roach, Honda vice president of parts and service, will join I-CAR CEO John Van Alstyne at 9:30 a.m. in the media room of the Las Vegas Convention Center for the event, which will highlight how more and more vehicle manufacturers are turning to I-CAR for training.
