Up-to-date knowledge on new vehicle designs is critical as repair procedures from previous generation vehicle models do not necessarily apply to current models. This presentation will deliver important repair information on advanced joining technologies, which ones to use in different situations and how to replace parts following OEM recommendations.

“These presentations, and the larger Repairability Technical Support initiative, are representative of I-CAR’s effort to provide broader value to the industry through education, knowledge and collision repair solutions,” said Bartanen. “We look forward to sharing this information with our industry colleagues at NACE as we all work together to achieve complete and safe repairs for the ultimate benefit of the consumer.”
