First APRA electrical clinic in Quebec City

The Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association’s (APRA) Chief Technical Officer, Mark Kothe, announced recently that the association would hold their first Regional Electrical Clinic in Quebec City, Canada on October 14-15, 2011.

Kothe stated, “The driving force behind holding this clinic is Steve Venne of Atelier Dynamo who had inquired several months ago about APRA providing some training to rebuilders/remanufacturers in his part of Canada.”

The clinic will be held at the Loews Hotel Le Concorde in Quebec City and the program will feature the following speakers and presentations:

• Steve Venne will discuss how to select the correct product for vehicle applications;
  
• Maurice Cote of Leece Neville will give a presentation;
  
• Al Steadman of Litens will discuss alternator pulleys;
  
• Dan Smith of Boston Auto Electric will talk about remanufacturing solenoids;
  
• Carl Sickles of Exide will give an update on the ever evolving batteries of today, and
  
• There will be a mini-exposition for suppliers who wish to display literature and small parts.

Kothe added, “We’re looking for a nice crowd of rebuilders who have never been exposed to the benefits and services of the Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association.”
