CAPA is excited to announce three new members elected to its Technical Committee! We welcome Alan Bush of ALDB and Associates Consulting, LLC, Raymond Pearson of LKQ/Keystone, and Jeremy Scott of AFICS – American Family Insurance Claims Service. Their experience and expertise will help CAPA continue to grow and meet the demands of our ever changing market.

CAPA was excited to have Stacy Bartnik speak at ASE's 2024 Instructor Training Conference in Minneapolis and have the chance to break down all the work and thought that goes into CAPA's robust certification program. We wish to thank the educators and other industry professionals who were able to attend and hope the insight Stacy was able to share into the testing that is at the core of CAPA's program will be of value and show the important role CAPA plays in our industry.

Congratulations to Stacy Bartnik for her 10th year judging at the SkillsUSA Championships competition. This year she judged in the categories of Interviews, Customer Estimate Presentation, and Virtual Estimating.

No manufacturing process is perfect, so CAPA relies on our Complaint Program to catch problems when they occur and maintain the high quality of the parts we certify. Learn more about the CAPA Complaint Program and how it works by downloading the fact sheet below.
