Kicking off Saturday morning with some training from the goat @collisionadvice Mike Anderson, I’ve been wanting to attend one of these events ever since finding out about Mike and what he does for us in the shop everyday. The Southeast collision conference was great and left with a whole toolbox of tools to help me do what’s best for the owner of the vehicle that’s in my care, but also what’s best for myself. The highlight of this event was honestly a highlight of my career, it may not seem like much but this guy in particular is someone I look up to and speak highly of. As I was talking to some people, a guy told me “hey, some shops are speaking about you, I have someone that wants to meet you.” Well when he said the president of Carolina collision association and owner of k&m collision my jaw dropped, speaking with him he let me know he admired that I was there as a technician from a Mso and I was investing in myself and that he would like my contact info to talk about future opportunities, that moment itself made all those little investments, the time, the push back, and the efforts worth it! It was also great to see this association investing in the upcoming generation, these kids had the biggest smiles on their faces and they’re in great hands with this association! #grateful #neverquit #stayconnected #getityourself #carolinacollisionassociation #collisionadvice #collisiontechnician #autobodystrong #autobodyrepair #haventbeenthatexcitedinawhile #haventbeenthatnervousinawhile #southeastcollisionconference #itsnotjustbeatingapanel #panelbeaters #scrs @carolinas_collision_assoc
Getting a photo of our entire team is tricky, but we did manage to snap half of us for a farewell send-off to our youngest technician, Xavier! He, along with Whitney, Charles, and Brenda, is off to the Southeast Collision Conference in Greensboro. Let’s congratulate Xavier on being chosen as a recipient of the 2024 CCA Tool Grant. He’ll be honored with his award at the conference tomorrow morning. We’re immensely proud of him and his dedication. Over the past nearly year of being with us, he’s gained a wealth of knowledge through his hard work in the automotive industry. #excelbodyworks #cca #southeasterncollisionconference #carolinacollisionassociation #award #ceremony #familybusiness #celebrate

Excited to attend my first tradeshow/conference in the collision repair industry, I will definitely have to bring a notebook, the amount of knowledge and experience packed into these two days by the biggest names in the industry will be a game changer!
