LAS VEGAS, NEV. – Oct. 30, 2023 – For the first time in AAPEX history, distributors, manufacturers, tool and equipment providers and service professionals from around the country will assemble in Joe’s Garage to service and repair a vehicle on the show floor. At the close of AAPEX on Nov. 2, a newly repaired 2013 Ford Edge will be donated to a Veteran through the Progressive Keys to Progress® Veteran Vehicle Giveaway Program.

The vehicle will be repaired in Bay 10, the Service Bay of the built-out shop on the show floor located on Level 1 of The Venetian Expo.
