2011 Automotive Services Show

3-14-11 – Excitement Builds as Industry Comes to NORTHEASTtm 2011 This Weekend

Thousands of automotive repairers, vendors and industry representatives are coming to Secaucus, NJ for the East Coast version of “Automotive Week” at the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ)’s 34th annual NORTHEAST™ 2011 Automotive Services Show at the Meadowlands Exposition Center this weekend, March 18 – 20 in Secaucus, New Jersey.

“We are very, very excited about this year’s show,” Jeff McDowell, AASP/NJ President says. “We have professionals from just about every facet of the industry and every part of the country coming in for the show. And the pre-registration from the Northeast region has been unprecedented. It’s going to be a hell of an event.”

NORTHEAST™ 2011’s Automotive Week has a full slate of events featuring SCRS, CIC, the NABC, I-CAR and the Assured Performance Network as well as show seminars covering topics such as waterborne paint, aftermarket parts, estimating and risk management among many others. The show floor will be filled with every top vendor in the industry, including show sponsor BASF, Metropolitan Car-O-Liner, 3M, Accudraft, Akzo Nobel, PPG and many more.

“I know it’s a cliché,” McDowell says, “but there is truly something for everyone at this year’s show. As a small shop owner dealing with a shaky economy, I have to say, any shop would be crazy to miss the opportunity to take advantage of all that is offered at NORTHEAST™ 2011.”

NORTHEAST™ 2011 “Automotive Week” begins on Wednesday, March 16 with the Assured Performance Network, National Auto Body Council, Collision Industry Conference and Society of Collision Repair Specialists hosting several meetings in the days leading up to the NORTHEAST™ 2011 Automotive Services Show. For more information on these events, or to register for these and all NORTHEAST™ seminars, please visit www.aaspnjnortheast.com/seminars-events.shtml.
