Anderson will present his “Who Pays For What?” survey results seminar along with the national debut of “100% Disassembly & Parts Mirror Matching.” Montanez will debut his new “Take Back Your Business From the Rekey Process” class as well as presenting (with Jake Rodenroth and Anthony Cetani) “Proper & Accurate Blueprinting With Pre-Scan/Pre-Measure.”

The estimating expertise of Jerry McNee and John Niechwiadowicz will once again be on display at NORTHEAST as they present “Open Your Eyes…And You WILL Become a Game Changer!” Ford Motorcraft Technical Trainer Mike Brabble will host “Ford High Voltage Vehicles Components and Operation,” while Mike Lanza of Sherwin Williams will prepare attendees for what’s going to come with “2020 – The Future of Staffing: Where Will You Be?” Rounding out the educational program will be “Supercharge Your Profits!,” presented by Jim Saeli of Management Success.
