  • Automotive Transformation: Insights from industry thought and solution leaders that help collision and repair professionals navigate and identify what their shop needs to service the next generation of vehicles.

  • New Product and Innovation: Future-proofing collision and repair shops with new and innovative products designed to service, diagnose and calibrate anything that rolls into their bays.

  • Customer Support and Training: First-class support, comprehensive resources and expert training that helps collision and repair professionals be the best at what they do.

“Serving the Shop is about more than offering the cutting-edge products customers need to stay competitive in the marketplace,” said Ian Wendler, Vice President & General Manager for VSG Americas. “It’s about the expertise and the training that goes along with it and providing industry professionals the knowledge to optimize the most critical aspects of their automotive service and repair operations.”

Product and industry experts from Rotary and Chief will host live product demos daily throughout the show.
