If you’re exhibiting at either show, you should be in Autobody News. More shop owners attend from California, Nevada and Arizona than from any other region. That's because they can drive in. In fact, many close the shop and bring their whole crew to NACE. Don't get lost in big national magazines; put your NACE and SEMA advertising in Autobody News where it will be seen by people who go to these industry shows every year.

Autobody News has been reporting for years on what shops are doing, plan to do and need to do to be both “Lean and Green.” Can a modern shop really be one without the other?
We are about to walk the walk, not just the talk, in our upcoming issues.
Starting next month, Autobody News will be doing special country-wide coverage on the “lean and green” issues that shops are implementing both now and in the future. Our summer theme is “what does it mean to be lean and green?” and we will explore the business consequences of what we see as the new norm in collision repair and in business in general.
Future cars will be more sensitive to repair procedures both in efficiency, safety, and performance aspects. Safety will involve both the owner-customer and the shop employees. More attention will be required on how to make your shop operate at peak efficiency. To keep up and make a profitable business operate, will be a challenge and an opportunity for shop owners and managers.
