Grand Rapids Collision Industry Night Slated for Wednesday

June 22, 2015

June 22, 2015—The Grand Rapids Collision Industry Night, which aims to provide body shop owners and managers a forum to discuss trends and opportunities for the year ahead, will take place Wednesday in Grand Rapids, Mich., with a number of presentations from industry leaders.

The event will be held at the Courtyard by Marriott-Grand Rapids Downtown, and will include complimentary dinner, drinks and presentations from 6:30–8:30 p.m.

The speakers include:

  • Mobile Estimating Technology by Mitchell
  • Car Rental Technology by Enterprise
  • Repair Planning by BASF
  • Aluminum Repair Technology: Some Facts and Myths by 3M
  • Collision Industry Overview by FinishMaster
  • Insurance Industry Trends by CARSTAR

“The collision repair business is changing quickly, particularly with the advent of aluminum repair.  When you’re an independent body shop owner, it’s hard to take the time to step away from your business to look at longer-range changes and developments in the industry,” said Mark Algie, business development manager for 3M Automotive Aftermarket.  “This collision industry program provides a great way to understand how the changing marketplace will impact your business, and plan now for those changes!”
