Did you know statistics show that Halloween has one of the highest rates of vehicle theft compared to the rest of the year? NASTF’s mission is to help fight vehicle theft and protect the automotive industry with our vehicle security initiatives.

On National First Responders Day, NASTF would like to thank all of the men and women who protect and serve our communities every day. NASTF is proud to support law enforcement in their efforts to combat vehicle theft and ensure the safety of the automotive industry. Our automaker partners even provide critical information and assistance to first responders with EV and hybrid technologies, free of charge. Together, we can build a safe and secure future.

Meet Isaac Rodell! Isaac is a true diagnostics renaissance man, running a mobile diagnostics business while also being one of the industry’s top educators. His passion for teaching and technology shines through as he builds custom laptop computers, ensuring that repairers—regardless of their IT skills—can effectively run legitimate automaker software for their business. In addition to his impressive technical expertise, Isaac plays an active role on several of our sub-committees, helping NASTF stay on top of the latest intel regarding the needs of diagnosticians.

NASTF is equipped with their very own Education Team, committed to facilitating the availability and accessibility of technical training resources, originated by or managed by automakers, to independent technicians. This team regularly engages with automakers to ensure independent technicians and trainers have access to aftermarket education resources, communicate the successes and challenges of the use/licensing of OEM content and identify any potential training gaps.

Founded in 2000, the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF) is a 501 C6 not-for-profit organization established in 2000 by automakers and the independent aftermarket to identify and resolve gaps in service information, tool information, and training. For the last 24 years, the mission has been to facilitate the identification and correction of gaps in the availability and accessibility of automotive service information, training, diagnostic tools and equipment, and communications to automotive service professionals.

Who is Launch Tech USA? For over 14 years, the company has been a leading provider of innovative, cost-effective diagnostic tools and solutions to automotive aftermarket. As the first aftermarket scan tool company to require a validation process that mirrors OEM standards, their partnership with NASTF sets new standards.

NASTF was proud to have Donny Seyfer represent us last month at the MOTOR Information Systems Expo in Troy, MI. While there, he addressed key industry topics such as auto theft prevention and the vital role NASTF plays in protecting vehicle security. He also shed light on the current state of the automotive industry and ongoing Right to Repair initiatives. NASTF remains committed to supporting the industry through education and collaboration.
