The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) is hosting a free webinar on Tuesday, Oct. 22 at 4:00 p.m. ET entitled “Aftermarket Restoration Sheet Metal-Pros, Cons & Safe Operating Procedures (SOPs).”

Automotive aftermarket sheet metal manufacturing has been an industry standard since the 1970s and many times the reputation for these parts is less than good. Some companies rise above the rest with quality, fit and finish, but it is a difficult world to navigate with constantly changing parts and standards.

In this webinar, Kevin Tetz with Paintucation will discuss how to “qualify” aftermarket parts from construction integrity to e-coat resilience and give participants some guidance as to how to gauge whether parts are high quality replacements or substandard copies. Tetz will also discuss a few simple ways to make sure that parts will fit the vehicle being worked on, and what to do if those parts do not fit.

Participants in this webinar will receive a certificate of attendance for this live session. Please allow one week for automatic email delivery of the certificate.

After registering, a confirmation email will be sent containing information about joining the webinar.
