Management Certification Course Recap

AOCA just held another successful Management Certification Course in Irving, TX on October 21-22! The course was heavily attended with over 30 owners and managers. AOCA would like to thank the course instructor, Kevin Davis of Fast Change Lube & Oil Inc. out of Lovely, KY for his continuous efforts to provide the best management training in the fast-lube industry.
