Half a decade ago the SEMA Show was less than a blip on the collision repair industry's radar.

For collision repairers concerned about the impact of insurance-mandated parts procurement models and looking to gain more knowledge on the impact they have had in other global markets, the 2012 SEMA Show is a perfect venue to gather information.

The Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS) worked with SkillsUSA during a recent national competition, held in Kansas City between June 23–27 2012, to demonstrate the industry's support and encouragement to not only the student competitors, but also to the schools and advisors who have put so much time into preparing these future industry members.
