“This has been a hot button issue in our industry for a long, long time,” Bryant says from the AASP/NJ home office in Neptune, NJ. “The CNN report was fantastic, primarily because it focused on the process that the great majority of consumers were not aware of. As a shop owner, being aware of your legal rights in regard to this process, especially when dealing with or without a direct repair program, is what we plan to focus on during our panel discussion.”
Mackevich, Bauchner and Portnoi have all worked closely with Bryant and AASP/NJ on many issues, both legal and legislative over the years. “Our panelists are as qualified as any legal team in the country to speak on these topics,” Bryant adds. “All three know our industry extremely well.”
“Steering: A Legal Perspective,” will be presented Saturday, March 21 at 11am in the upstairs press room.
