Collision Repair Education Foundation Executive Director Scott Kruger commented, “Through ABRA’s tool grant, these 16 students, and soon-to-be members of the collision industry, will be better equipped to repair consumer’s collision damaged vehicles properly. Industry supporters like ABRA Auto Body & Glass are helping to display to secondary and post-secondary students that the industry believes in their future and is willing to step up to support their education. I would like to thank ABRA Auto Body & Glass for their continued support and making this tool grant available.”
