NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (Dec. 22, 2014) — The 2015 NACE and CARS expos for the auto repair industry are on track to grow by 50 percent based on early exhibitor commitments, according to the Automotive Service Association (ASA).
The automotive repair and collision repair Industry Week shows will be held July 21-25 in Detroit. The ASA, which sponsors NACE/ CARS, is partnering with several associations, events and groups for Industry Week, including I-CAR, NABC, CREF, MERA, CCIF and CIC.
