The Congress of Automotive Repair and Service (CARS) is partnering with our friends at AAPEX to bring you CARS training under the AAPEXedu program schedule. CARS: Take Control of Your Future focuses on the three most pervasive issues facing independent repair shops: • Rapidly advancing vehicle technology, • Finding and training the next generation of technicians • Competition that shops do not see coming.

CARS@AAPEX 2017 promises to be one of the industry’s most important events for shop owners who want to take charge of their future. Oct. 31 to Nov. 4 is a must-attend week in Las Vegas as the industry’s leading educators, business and technical experts, and entrepreneurs explore the newest technologies and predict what the connection revolution means for the future of the automotive service and repair industry. Independent repairers: Be prepared to compete, collaborate and revise your business model well ahead of your competition. Each of the three CARS sessions takes on a piece of the puzzle and, in a TV talk-show format, educates and entertains our guests. Regardless of the size of your shop, we want to start turning shop owners into industry analysts who take control of their future.

If you can’t make the entire week of Oct. 31, focus on the Nov. 2-4 events, which feature a variety of single-track sessions that provide in-depth looks at the topics that mean the most to you. Network with old and new friends in between sessions such as:
