New ASTE Dates: November 20 & 21
The ASTE is still on! With the continued restrictions of Covid-19 and remaining in Phase 2 of North Carolina’s “Safer at Home Order”, we have postponed the ASTE 2020. The new ASTE 2020 dates are November 20-21. These dates are contingent upon the reopening of North Carolina and lifting gathering size restrictions.

But First You'll Have To....
(John Hill - Autotrends)

“I’ll send you all the imports, but first you’ll have to join IGO…………….and you’ll need to attend the monthly meetings”. That’s what I was told by my business neighbor, Clarence Martin, who was manager at Dixie Sales which was one block up the street from our shop. I was new to being a shop owner and really appreciated his offer.
