3.9.26 – If you’re looking for the best automotive educational experience for your business needs, look no further than AASP/NJ’s NORTHEAST® Automotive Services Show! The largest and fastest growing automotive services show of its kind returns to the Meadowlands Exposition Center (MEC) in Secaucus, NJ from March 20-22 offering an expanded educational experience to include courses catering to mechanical repair needs in addition to collision.

Sponsored by AirPro Diagnostics, this year’s educational slate includes presentations from Expertech Automotive Training and Consulting, Bosch and NAPA that mechanical repair professionals will not want to miss.

“Things are changing so quickly,” observes AASP/NJ Mechanical Executive Director Joe Ocello. “Shops are struggling to keep up with rapid industry changes like staffing shortages and rising costs. One doesn’t always have the time to follow up on the many issues the mechanical field experiences, but NORTHEAST provides opportunities to learn how to tackle these issues from those in the know.”

Ira Waldman and Tim Iezzi of Expertech Automotive Training and Consulting will present “Fixing the NO Start” to give attendees practical procedures that they can take back with them and use Monday in the shop to help them diagnose no starts. They are also on deck to teach “Introduction to Module Programming,” which will cover how to program GM and Chrysler modules using both OEM and aftermarket tools.

Bosch’s Steve Haney will present “Bosch Precision ADAS: Mastering Repair and Calibration.” Participants will gain a clear understanding of ADAS components, features, and how these systems support collision avoidance and driver safety in valuable lessons you can’t get anywhere else.

Kenneth Pollin (NAPA) will present “TPMS & Alignment: Turning Two Overlooked Systems into Reliable Profit Centers.”

“TPMS (tire pressure monitoring systems) and alignment are no longer ‘tire services,’ they are now a critical integration into a vehicle’s safety system,” says Pollin. His discussion will show attendees how to turn those systems into standardized, documented and dependable profit centers. “Modern vehicles depend on proper tire pressure and suspension geometry for stability control, braking performance, ADAS accuracy and overall handling. Yet, many shops still treat them reactively. In today’s market, that leaves both safety and profitability untapped.”
