AASP/NJ to Host Auto Body Laws and Regulations Seminar

One of New Jersey’s top automotive attorneys will provide an overview on how to develop a strong contract to protect your shop and customers.

The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ) announced it will be hosting an educational session titled “Understanding the Laws and Regulations Governing Auto Repair and Auto Body Shops” on Thursday, June 15 at 6:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn in Clark, N.J. 

One of New Jersey’s top automotive attorneys will provide an overview on how to develop a strong contract to protect your shop and customers. Shop owners will learn how to satisfy legal requirements to ensure their businesses are compliant with state law and will gain knowledge on how to avoid penalties and potentially costly lawsuits. 

AASP/NJ board member Ken Miller stresses the importance of how understanding the law and developing a solid repair authorization is key to success in this day and age. 

“It’s fundamental in not just protecting your business interests, but the best interests of your customers as well,” said Miller. “It’s a first step toward moving forward as an industry. It is time to step away from the old-time mentality of running a shop like our fathers once did. In order to survive in this challenging industry, we have to work toward running professional and profitable businesses.” 

Cost is $35 per member company; $75 for non-members. To register or to learn more about AASP/NJ, visit aaspnj.org.

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."
