The NORTHEAST 2023 Automotive Services Show was held March 17-19 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center in Secaucus, N.J., a short drive from the heart of Manhattan. Featuring more than 100 exhibit booths and 12 presentations, the 46th annual signature event of the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP-NJ) marked a return to normal for many. The show was canceled in 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, was postponed to Sept. 2021, and then resumed its normal schedule in March 2022. So, as the first show to resume after a year break between the shows, to this editor, anyway, show attendance showed an increase.
