IVC AAPEX Webinar - Adapting to Tech

Industry-wide Impact: Adapting to Tech in the Aftermarket Ecosystem

Brought to you by the IMPORT VEHICLE COMMUNITY of the Auto Care Association, this webinar discussed how the industry is adapting to technology in the aftermarket ecosystem.

Advancements in technology have significantly changed how modern-day cars are designed and made, making repairs increasingly complex to accurately diagnose and repair.

Independent repair shops are faced with having to invest in advanced tools and equipment as well as expand technician training to keep pace with the skillset needed to use scan tools and computer-controlled systems.

The webinar will featured three panelists, sharing their perspective from a manufacturer, distributor and mobile diagnostics repair service and trainer. The panelists discussed:
  • the evolution of automotive technician training: training and digital skill set required for today's software-based vehicles; manufacturers, distributors, trainers expanding online training formats and resources in addition to on-site training opportunities.
  • how the industry and repair shops are adapting to new vehicle technology: right to repair, tools and equipment required and solutions for advanced automotive diagnostics
  • challenges and opportunities in the next five years from each panelists' perspective
