One of the standout moments of last week’s ABPA Business Conference in Sarasota was the successful NABC Recycled Rides® event. Through the generous collaboration of industry partners and the National Auto Body Council, a fully refurbished vehicle was donated to a deserving local family, showcasing the power of our industry to make a meaningful impact. The emotional hand-off served as a powerful reminder of the good we can accomplish when we come together with purpose.
