AAPEX has announced the schedule of technical and business management training at Joe's Garage for the 2023 AAPEX Conference.
The technical training will cover topics such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration, battery electric vehicle (BEV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) services, electronification of the chassis, EVAP diagnostics, J2534 module programming, deciphering gas turbo drivability, and communication breakdown: communication issues, U codes, and network diagnostics.
Business management topics include AI language ChatGPT, dealing with overwhelm, executing successful acquisitions, superior service advising, understanding Gen Z; and attracting, hiring, and retaining employees.
The Joe’s Garage training was selected by a panel of shop owners who reviewed more than 150 submissions and identified beginner, intermediate and advanced-level training that would best equip service professionals with the skills to meet the challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow. The business management sessions are accredited toward the Automotive Aftermarket Professional (AAP) and Master Automotive Aftermarket Professional (MAAP) designations.
Many of the industry’s top trainers have been selected to lead the training that will take place in Joe’s Garage, an entire floor of The Venetian Expo dedicated to meeting the needs of today’s service and repair professionals.
AAPEX will be held Tuesday, Oct. 31 through Thursday, Nov. 2, in Las Vegas.
