"Collision repair shop professionals need access to timely education to help keep them stay up-to-date on the latest trends," said Michael Willins, content director, Advanstar Automotive Group. "I-CAR provides leadership in the research, development and delivery of quality, convenient, cost-effective educational programs for the collision repair inter-industry. We're excited to work with them to bring this relevant content to our readers in this convenient web format."

Jeff Poole, I-CAR performance training coordinator, will present content and Bruce Adams, managing editor of ABRN, will moderate the webcast. The content is designed to help collision repair shops understand how new hybrid vehicles function, how to properly repair them and why this information is critical to future success. The webcast will include a question and answer session for participants to interact with presenters.

"Due to the increased amount of vehicle owners driving hybrid cars, it's more important than ever to understand the considerations around working with these vehicles. This webcast will introduce the audience to important steps needed to achieve a safe repair when working with hybrid vehicles," said Bill Stage, I-CAR director of marketing and distribution.
