AASP/NJ NORTHEAST Show 2021

AASP/NJ Looking Forward to NORTHEAST 2021

The show, set for Sept. 10-12, is on track to be the first regional automotive services show to take place since the pandemic began over a year ago.

The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ) is looking forward to the return of its flagship event this fall.

According to the association, the 2021 NORTHEAST Automotive Services Show – originally scheduled for March 19-21 and now set for Sept. 10-12, 2021 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center (MEC) in Secaucus, N.J. – is on track to be the first regional automotive services show to take place since the COVID-19 pandemic began over a year ago.

“We are very excited and anxious to get the show back up and running,” said Jerry McNee, president of AASP/NJ. “With more and more people getting vaccinated and the encouraging case statistics here in New Jersey, everything is pointing to a safe and successful NORTHEAST.”

AASP/NJ is working daily with the MEC to implement every necessary safety protocol to ensure that anyone who attends NORTHEAST will feel safe and secure.

“We are very encouraged by what we are seeing, not only in New Jersey but around the country,” said Thomas Greco, show manager, secretary of AASP/NJ and president of Greco Publishing. “Trade shows for other industries have already started in places such as Florida and Alabama; we are monitoring all of them closely to see what works and what doesn’t and what we need to do to make NORTHEAST as ‘normal’ as possible.”

“It’s only April, and everything is trending in the right direction,” said McNee. “The Governor has been loosening restrictions. We are confident that by September, we will be as close to normalcy as possible. So, mark your calendar and let NORTHEAST be the cure to your cabin fever. We really can’t wait to see everyone again.”

Pre-registered NORTHEAST 2020 attendees will not need to re-register, as badge data will be carried over to the new dates of Sept. 10-12.

The Auto Care Association is applauding recent comments the FTC and DOJ made supporting renewal and expansion of exemptions facilitating consumers’ and businesses’ right to repair their own products.

"Auto Care Association supports the Joint Comment of the DOJ and the FTC encouraging the Librarian of Congress to renew and expand repair-related exemptions that would promote competition in markets for replacement parts, repair and maintenance services, as well as facilitate competition in markets for repairable products," said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. "In particular, on behalf of the entire automotive aftermarket, Auto Care Association agrees with the DOJ and the FTC that the Class 7 exemption to allow vehicle owners and repair facilities greater access to vehicle diagnostic and telematics data for monitoring purposes is critically important to lower the cost of repairs, improve access to repair services, and minimize costly and inconvenient delays."
