2009 marks the second annual Automotive Service and Repair Week (ASRW) and the co-location of CARS(CongressofAutomotiveRepair&Service)with NACE, as well as Auto Glass Week. ASRW

creates an industry-wide event that includes the collision, mechanical and auto glass segments of the automotive service and repair industry. The goal is to continue to grow ASRW to include other organizations and industry segments to create a “mega” event that will touch all aspects of the automotive industry.

NEW REALITIES.

This year celebrates the 27th annual International Autobody Congress & Exposition – NACE. NACE was created to provide buyers and sellers within the collision repair community a place to network, a highly-rated educational resource, as well as a unique marketplace to see all the products, services, equipment and technology available to the industry.Since 1983, NACE has been, and will continue to be, a direct reflection of what’s happening in the industry. NACE is the pulse of the industry. Collision repair has changed dramatically over the years and NACE has been there. With the current challenges facing businesses today, NACE is still there. New realities call for new strategies. If you’re involved in any aspect of collision repair, NACE needs to be your strategic partner.

NACE 2009 – Smart. Compelling. Relevant. Essential.
