Online registration for the 2006 Congress of Automotive Repair and Service (CARS) is now available on the CARS website (www.CARSonline.org). CARS will be held Nov. 2-4 at The Mirage in Las Vegas. Attendees may use the secure online form to register for CARS activities, including technical courses and management seminars, as well as housing accommodations.

ASA members and nonmembers who sign up for the full CARS registration package before Sept. 22 will be eligible to save $100 or more. New this year, attendees may also register for single-day packages, allowing visitors of other Automotive Aftermarket Industry Week (AAIW) shows to experience CARS technical and management education on the day of their choice. One-day packages will be available for Thursday, Friday and Saturday and include attendee’s choice of classes, accompanying course material and available food functions.

The theme of this year’s show is "The Best Deal in Town," and the event will feature three Automotive Management Institute-approved management seminars and 12 technical courses. The event also provides several networking opportunities including an exhibitor showcase featuring the latest in automotive products and services.

"I’m excited about the schedule for CARS 2006. With a wide range of classes available, attendees may have trouble deciding which ones to choose," said Robbie Addison, Mechanical Division manager. "But, that’s what CARS is all about. It allows the shop owner to fill the training needs of his or her employees and to select what is best for the business."

In addition to providing secure, convenient online registration, the CARS website also includes a list of exhibitors, daily agendas, information about education courses and instructors, and speaker information.
