Toronto, Ontario — November 5, 2018 — What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas but not when it comes to the SEMA show. Collision Repair has a recap of events at the four-day tradeshow. 

Thousands of members from the automotive industry roamed around the show floor to network and look at the many booths demonstrating the latest products and innovations. From a display of souped-up unique vintage vehicles and tall trucks, to panel discussions and contests like Battle of the Builders, SEMA was packed with excitement.
