The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ), the state’s largest association of collision and mechanical repairers, is proud to announce that online pre-registration for the NORTHEAST® 2014 Automotive Services Show, the association’s 37th installment of their signature event, is now open. Registrants can sign up for the Northeast’s largest automotive repair show at www.aaspnjnortheast.com/registration.shtml. Pre-registration is FREE (on-site registration the weekend of the show is $10 at the door). NORTHEAST 2014 takes place March 21, 22 and 23, 2014 at the Meadowlands Exposition Center of Secaucus, NJ.

Highlighting this year’s show is none other than hot rod shop owner, designer and fabricator and star of the reality show Overhaulin’, Chip Foose. Foose will be making an appearance on behalf of NORTHEAST 2014’s Platinum Sponsor, BASF. He will be signing autographs and taking photos in the BASF booth from 10am – 2pm on Saturday.

“Year after year, we try and top the previous year’s show,” says AASP/NJ President Jeff McDowell, owner of Leslie’s Auto Body in Fords, NJ. “But this year, I think we have gone way over the top with Chip Foose. Chip is an industry icon who draws thousands to shows across the country. We are thrilled and thankful to BASF for bringing him to NORTHEAST 2014.”

AASP/NJ is looking to set record numbers this year with over 300 exhibitors, 500 booths and thousands of attendees expected. Along with the latest in equipment and technology, NORTHEAST 2014 is offering a full slate of educational and training seminars on the latest topics trending in the industry.

Special additions to the show this year include a Virtual Spray Painting Tournament, custom painting instruction from painter extraordinaire Javier Soto and a Custom Corvette Car Show presented by the Natural Glass Corvette Association.

“We’ve really loaded up this year,” McDowell adds. “And this is just the tip of the iceberg. We will be announcing more details every week up until the day of the show. I advise everyone to register as soon as possible because NORTHEAST 2014 is going to be the one show you are not going to want to miss.”
