NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, Texas (June 5, 2015) — The Automotive Service Association's (ASA) 2015 Congress of Automotive Repair & Service (CARS) will feature Tim McDonnell, Mitchell 1 national training manager, in a “Shop Management Unleashed” session.

The session, sponsored by Mitchell 1, will take place from 1 - 2:30 p.m. July 22 at the COBO Center in Detroit during NACE/CARS 2015.
