The
Alliance of Automotive Service Providers
(AASP) has several activities planned in
conjunction with Automotive Aftermarket
Industry Week in Las Vegas. Running Nov. 1
through 4, Industry Week includes the SEMA show
at the Las Vegas Convention Center, which will
host collision industry events such as the
Collision Industry Conference and the
Society of Collision Repair Specialists’
Repairer Driven Education (RDE) Series. The
week also features the
AAPEX show at the Sands
Expo and Convention Center and the AVI Training
Conference, offering technical training geared
toward the needs of mechanical technicians and
shop owners.
AASP will sponsor a seminar entitled Share the
Knowledge – Gain the Profits at the AAPEX show
on Thursday, November 3th, 9:00 – 10:00 a.m.,
at the Venetian Hotel. The program will focus
on how shops can use communication and
electronic technology tools, including
websites, car care videos and lobby television
programs, to help their customers better
understand car repair and maintenance
procedures. Attendees will learn how educating
customers can add dollars to their bottom line
and enhance the customer service experience.
The program will be presented by Danny Sanchez,
an AMI accredited instructor, nationally known
speaker and CEO & Founder of Autoshop Solutions
Inc.
AASP is also pleased to be among the sponsors
of the Repairer Driven Education Series,
featuring 21+ seminar offerings delivering
content that is relevant to collision repair
professionals and to the diverse array of
marketplace perspectives within the collision
repair industry. The sessions will be held on
each day of the SEMA show in the afternoon and
highlighted by a high-energy, impactful
headline presentation from Afterburner Fighter
Pilots on Thursday evening, Nov. 3rd.
While in Vegas, AASP will hold its Fall Board
of Directors meeting which will include
consideration of applications for the
Association’s 2012 Industry Improvement Grants.
Established in 2010, AASP’s Industry
Improvement Grant program funds initiatives
that demonstrate innovative and collaborative
projects and programs that address unmet needs
within the mechanical and collision industries.
The meeting will also feature review and
updates on various industry initiatives and
status of the Association’s financial,
membership and benefit programs.
The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers is
a coalition of associations which serve over
8,500 members of the automotive service
industry. In a spirit of mutual cooperation
and support, Alliance participants are
committed to sharing information, knowledge and
other resources for the benefit of the members
