AAPEX sold out even after expanding its exhibit area into the Venetian Ballroom earlier this year in anticipation of a record-setting number of exhibitors.

“AAPEX is an extremely business-oriented show that consistently brings quality buyers to booths. As a result, more and more companies are making AAPEX an integral part of their sales strategy,” said Bill Glasgow, Sr., AAPEX show manager.

A list of 2005 exhibitors is on the AAPEX website, AAPEXShow.com. Exhibitors can be searched alphabetically, by exhibitor/product category or by product. A “My Planner” feature on the site helps buyers create an efficient, personalized hour-by-hour itinerary for visiting exhibits and attending AAPEX networking events and seminars. There is also a virtual floor plan of the Sands Expo Center with a zoom in feature to show booth locations for exhibitors, company contact and product information, and links to exhibitors’ websites.

Companies that haven’t reserved space for AAPEX, but are interested in exhibiting should contact AAPEX Show Management at (708) 226-1300 to be placed on a waiting list in the event of cancellations.

AAPEX 2005 will be held Tuesday, Nov. 1, through Friday, Nov. 4, at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas.

AAPEX is the annual business-to-business trade show representing the $250 billion North American retail and service aftermarket, and features nearly 2,000 exhibitors. AAPEX is jointly sponsored by the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) and the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA).

Several governors across the country have declared April as Car Care Month in their respective states, urging their residents to be car care aware and perform the service necessary to ensure their vehicles are operating in a safe, efficient and clean manner.
The following governors have issued official state proclamations that April is Car Care Month: Gov. Robert Bentley of Alabama, Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado, Gov. Pat Quinn of Illinois, Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan, Gov. Susana Martinez of New Mexico, Gov. John A. Kitzhaber, M.D. of Oregon, Gov. Nikki R. Haley of South Carolina, Gov. Bill Haslam of Tennessee, Gov. Peter Shumlin of Vermont and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia.
“We want to thank these governors for officially proclaiming April as Car Care Month,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care Council. “Car Care Month provides a unique opportunity for the auto care industry and the government to educate car owners on the importance of proper vehicle care. Motor vehicle safety continues to be a major focus for state legislatures and regulatory agencies across the country, so we commend each of the governors for making these important proclamations.”
Spring is the perfect time for motorists to make sure their vehicles are running reliably after a rough winter and before the summer driving season begins. Many independent repair shops and community organizations throughout the country will conduct car care events during April. These events have revealed that three out of four vehicles inspected are in need of some type of maintenance or repair.
The non-profit Car Care Council offers many free tools on its website to help consumers drive smart, save money and be more environmentally friendly, including the popular 60-page Car Care Guide and a custom service schedule and email reminder service.
“By following a service schedule and performing preventative vehicle maintenance, motorists can ensure that their vehicles are safe and dependable. Plus, auto care can help save money in many ways, including reducing fuel consumption and extending vehicle life,” continued White. “We encourage all car owners across the country to get their vehicles inspected this April.”
