Members of the National Auto Body Council (NABC) are joining forces with industry colleagues to promote the professionalism and integrity of the collision industry to the next generation of experts and leaders at the “Cars, Careers & Celebrities Expo.” The event, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 16 in Arlington, Texas, is expected to be one of the largest fundraisers for the Collision Repair Education Foundation.
A highlight of the day-long event will be the presentation of NABC’s signature Recycled Rides program by the Van Tuyl Group, which refurbished vehicles provided by Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Hertz and Allstate. The Recycled Rides vehicles will be donated to three deserving families in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
“Recycled Rides epitomizes the spirit of collaboration as repairers, insurers, rental car companies, parts suppliers, manufacturers and others in our industry work together to give back to local communities,” said Rick Tuuri, chair of NABC’s Recycled Rides program and a board member of both NABC and the Collision Repair Education Foundation. “Showcasing Recycled Rides to our next generation of industry professionals exemplifies the standards and values that are prevalent in our industry today.”
NABC members supporting the event include: 3M, 800 Radiator, AudaExplore/Hollander, ABRA Auto Body & Glass, Axalta Coating Systems, Caliber Collision, Dent Zone/PDR Links, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Gerber Collision & Glass, Hertz, PPG Automotive Refinish, Service King Collision Repair Centers and Van Tuyl Group.
“The efforts of the Collision Repair Education Foundation are critical to the future of our industry,” said Nick Notte, NABC board president. “We look forward to more opportunities such as this upcoming event to participate and partner with our colleagues at the Collision Repair Education Foundation to reinforce our mission to promote professionalism and integrity in our industry.”
