The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) will discuss vehicle service information and tools at this year's AAPEX Show.

Topics covered will include:

* success in the United States and Canada in obtaining full access to vehicle information and tools.

* challenges that must be addressed "to ensure a level playing field for the independent shop and franchised dealer."

* how advances in technology could impact the ability of independent repair facilities to service future cars.

The AAPEX Show will be held Nov. 4-6 in Las Vegas, Nev.
