“AirPro is proud to support the RDE Series and the OEM Collision Repair Technology Summit,” shared Josh McFarlin, President and Chief Operating Officer at AirPro Diagnostics. “These important events bring together industry leaders and innovators to discuss the future of automotive repair, and we are honored to be a part of them.”
McFarlin will be featured in two RDE sessions.
Tuesday, November 5 from 12:00 – 1:30 PM, he will lead a session on Cracking the Code: Understanding AI and the Invaluable Role of Human Intelligence.
He will be joined by Tim Ronak, Senior Services Consultant at AkzoNobel to discuss how AI has begun to take center stage in the ever-evolving landscape of collision repair. The duo will demystify its role in the industry and uncover the unmatched value of Human Intelligence (HI). Discover how AI shapes the future of collision repair and why HI remains an irreplaceable asset in achieving unparalleled success.
On Wednesday, November 6 from 9:30 – 11:00 AM, McFarlin will join Danny Gredinberg, Administrator at the Database Enhancement Gateway (DEG), and Danyon Kirchner, Director of Sales and Business Services at Zimmerman Auto Body Supplies to discuss Repair Planning with Precision.
Documentation is the foundation in building a fact and evidence-based repair plan, and the team will engage with attendees to offer a unique perspective on using technology and defined processes to navigate overly complex repairs, procedure documentation and consumer communications.

“Education is one of AirPro’s core values, and we believe that empowering professionals with knowledge is key to advancing the industry,” added McFarlin. “By supporting the RDE series and the OEM summit, we are investing in the continued growth and education of our industry peers. These events provide invaluable insights, collaboration, and learning opportunities for everyone involved, from repair professionals to OEM representatives.”
“At AirPro, we remain dedicated to the ongoing pursuit of excellence in education, technology, and innovation in the automotive repair industry.”
AirPro Diagnostics can be found exhibiting at the SEMA Show in the Upper South Hall, Booth 31213.
“Josh, Lonnie and the entire team at AirPro have always been so supportive of the industry through the association, “added Amber Alley, SCRS Chairman. “It’s worth noting that these companies who commit and say, ‘yes I am in!’ often do so because of what they are able to help give back to this industry that they love and want to help develop, rather than because of what they gain. I always admire the dedication to being a part of the things that matter to others. Make sure to stop by their booth at the Show and let them know you appreciate their support!”
