2009 International Big R Show Online Technical Help
APRA & ATRA to Co-locate Their Expositions
Two of the leading international associations have agreed to co-locate their respective expositions at the Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 1-2, 2009. This major development brings together the Powertrain Expo run by the Automatic Transmission Rebuilders Association (ATRA) and the International Big R Show run by the Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association (APRA).

ATRA’s Executive Director, Dennis Madden, stated, “We are pleased that we were able to co-locate our exposition at the same time as the International Big R Show, which for the last seven years has been held in Las Vegas just prior to Industry Week featuring the AAPEX and SEMA Shows.”

APRA’s President, Bill Gager, added, “Both of our associations believe very strongly that this will provide each other’s attendees and suppliers with some new opportunities and will help them reach more people. Both associations will continue to offer their broad range of technical seminars and workshops just prior to and during the exposition.”  More
Streamlined Software Increases Speed of AutoBulletins.com
APRA has officially launched the 2nd generation of www.AutoBulletins.Com, a website designed specifically for the professional technician diagnosing vehicle problems. “Using AutoBulletins.Com gives the automotive or heavy duty technician the ability to look-up Original Equipment Service (OEM) bulletins for almost any car they may encounter in their shop,” stated APRA President, Bill Gager.

Accessing AutoBulletins.com online is like having a technical library at your fingertips. By storing all of the data “in house,” APRA has been able to provide much faster access for subscribers to this online service. The OEM technical bulletins are updated monthly, with an additional 400-500 new bulletins being added each month. Currently the website is home to 83,092 distinct technical service bulletins with coverage through the 2009 model year.

APRA is offering a free, full system test drive for 30-days for all APRA members. Purchase price is $165 per year, or $15 per month. More
