CARS Opens Online Registration for 2006 Event
Early-Bird Registration Available Until Sept. 22
BEDFORD, TEXAS, June 9, 2006 - Online registration for the 2006 Congress
of Automotive Repair and Service (CARS) is now available on the CARS Web
site (www.CARSonline.org). CARS will be held Nov. 2-4 at The Mirage in Las
Vegas. Attendees may use the secure online form to register for CARS activities,
including technical courses and management seminars, as well as housing accommodations.
ASA members and nonmembers who sign up for the full CARS registration package
before Sept. 22 will be eligible to save $100 or more. New this year, attendees
may also register for single-day packages, allowing visitors of other Automotive
Aftermarket Industry Week (AAIW) shows to experience CARS technical and management
education on the day of their choice. One-day packages will be available
for Thursday, Friday and Saturday and include attendee's choice of classes,
accompanying course material and available food functions.
The theme of this year's show is "The Best Deal in Town," and the event
will feature three Automotive Management Institute-approved management seminars
and 12 technical courses. The event also provides several networking opportunities
including an exhibitor showcase featuring the latest in automotive products
and services.
"I'm excited about the schedule for CARS 2006. With a wide range of classes
available, attendees may have trouble deciding which ones to choose," said
Robbie Addison, Mechanical Division manager. "But, that's what CARS is all
about. It allows the shop owner to fill the training needs of his or her
employees and to select what is best for the business."
In addition to providing secure, convenient online registration, the CARS
Web site also includes a list of exhibitors, daily agendas, information about
education courses and instructors, and speaker information.
