Visit Joe’s Garage
The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the ASE Education Foundation will be on-site at Joe’s Garage during the 2021 Automotive Aftermarket Product Expo (AAPEX) Nov. 2-4 in Las Vegas.
Senior executives from ASE and the ASE Education Foundation will be in attendance to provide information to show attendees about the importance of automotive service technology program accreditation and the wide variety of ASE certification tests available. Information also will be available about the time-saving ASE Renewal App, which allows those with active automobile certifications (A1-A9) to use the app for recertification so they can extend the expiration date of their certifications without having to take time off to go to a test center.
Located on Level 1 of the Sands Expo and Convention Center, Joe’s Garage will be situated in the center of the AAPEX Repair Shop HQ. Sponsored by Shop Owner magazine, Joe’s Garage provides show attendees a close-up look at new products, and features a real-world shop setup with eight service bays, providing a platform for exhibiting brands to demonstrate their equipment.
