Joe’s Garage to Show Tools and Equipment in Action at AAPEX 2020

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – May 20, 2020 – For the first time at AAPEX, attendees will have the opportunity to see demonstrations of new tools and equipment in Joe’s Garage, a real-world shop setup featuring six service bays, lifts, vehicles and a source capture vehicle exhaust extraction system.

Joe’s Garage already has the participation of AAPEX exhibitors and top brands, including:

BG Products, Inc. with demonstrations of its latest fluid service chemicals in four key services: cleaning/sanitizing/AC, fuel/oil change, coolant and transmission,
Robert Bosch with demonstrations of its latest advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration equipment,

In addition to seeing the benefits and capabilities of new products, attendees will get a close-up look and have the opportunity to ask questions and learn how to use the products in a simulated shop environment.

Joe’s Garage is part of the new Repair Shop HQ located on Level 1 of the Sands Expo. This area – dedicated specifically to service and repair – also will include two new training theaters, a new Tire section, and sections for Alternative Fuels and Diagnostics/Telematics.
