Good vendor relationships help make a great auto body repair facility.  Collex auto body was happy to partner with 3M to review new products and participate in demonstrations.  We hosted the event as we have both the space for presentation and demonstration and 60 some-odd auto body technicians and managers came to listen and learn.  3M, long known for their research and development, sent a product specialist from the headquarters in Minneapolis to guide the session.  Supplies such as fillers, bonding agents, seam sealers and protective coatings make a big difference in the quality and efficiency of repairs.  Special thanks to both our own Chet Ruivivar and and 3M’s Jim Garripoli for the extra effort in organizing a great session!
