Dear colleague.

When I started in the industry decades ago, I quickly learned that I would only be as good as I could be when I realized that I didn't know what I didn't know. 

And I didn't know a lot. 

But that's when I decided to work toward my ASE Certification and take my training seriously. Now, 30-plus years later, I still hold my ASE Master Certification and take advantage of as much training as I can. It also is why I am so passionate about getting as many technicians and auto pros like you to training events around the country, including NACE Automechanika Chicago. 

You already have placed a high value on yourself by studying for your ASE Certification and taking the exams. The next step is going to training. Why not make that training that's offered for free? Thanks to tremendous support from our industry sponsors, you can take mechanical courses – both technical and management – for no cost. We have many, many sponsors who recognize the value of this training, including Mitchell 1 who brings you no-cost training with code MITC2017.

I hope you will register for NACE Automechanika Chicago today and join us for the lineup I'm proud to be organizing. Industry-leading trainers like G. Jerry Truglia, Wayne Colonna, John Thornton, Danny Sanchez and many, many more will be on-hand and I hope you will join us. It's the perfect way to train well and take care of what you don't know.

See you in July!

Pete Meier
Director of Training
