January 2011 General Meeting
Well we started off 2011 with a bang. Great meeting full of important information from Judell with AASP about the upcoming legislative session, and Keith Risley with I Car.
AASP is currently looking at 3 important issues for body shops. They're looking at how to better evaluate threshold's for salvage vehicles. They're going to pursue shifting sales tax from point of sale to paint and materials on estimates, and at this point instead of licensing auto body facilities, do a "shop registration" with a possible $50 every 2 year fee. If anyone wants more info on any of these legislative items, check the AASP website or start coming to meetings!
Keith Risley with I Car addressed the groups comments and concerns about the I Car program. He explained in detail their pricing as well as big changes in the way I Car is doing business and updating their training programs. By the time he was done, everyone had a new found respect and understanding of I Car, as well as a much greater interest in getting classes to the Northland. Keith will evaluate the training records of local technicians to see what classed would best benefit our local member shops.
To reach Keith you can email him at keith.risley@i-car.com , he travels a great deal so give him a day or 2 to respond.
