10.20.25 – Mark your calendars! The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ) is excited to announce that the NORTHEAST® 2026 Automotive Services Show — the East Coast’s premier automotive and collision repair trade event — will return to the Meadowlands Exposition Center (MEC) in Secaucus, NJ, March 20–22, 2026.
Now in its 49th year, NORTHEAST stands as the largest automotive and collision repair trade show of its kind and the second-largest nationwide after SEMA. The annual event draws attendees from around the world, providing access to the latest technology, innovative tools and world-class education delivered by leading industry experts.
The show floor will host 100-plus exhibitors, alongside a wide range of workshops and sessions designed for automotive and collision repair professionals. NORTHEAST also offers unmatched networking opportunities and exciting interactive experiences. Returning for 2026, the Fourth Annual Bodywork Bowl promises to be bigger and better than ever, allowing participants to test their skills in welding, painting and estimating — all for prizes, recognition and bragging rights.
“There’s already so much excitement brewing for NORTHEAST 2026; there’s no doubt it will be our biggest show yet,” says AASP/NJ President Ken Miller. “NORTHEAST has become the must-attend event for anyone serious about this industry, offering the latest education, hands-on exposure to new technology and an incredible community connection. If you’re committed to staying current and competitive, start making your plans now!”
