Aurora, Colo. -- What's in a name?  For an automotive repair shop, brand recognition with motorists can be a great way to attract new business.  That, coupled with decades of industry know-how and an ability to build trust with customers, is a recipe for success, said Glenn Gow, who co-owns Complete Automotive Repair & Service, a nine-bay Goodyear Gemini shop on East Iliff Avenue, with his longtime colleagues Chris Weinreich and John Franceschi.

Colorado Springs--The 2008 SkillsUSA collision repair contest, held at Pikes Peak Community College on April 11, has added painting and refinishing repairs to its collision repair test series.  The primary reason for adding paint and refinishing was to create a test series that parallels those administered at the national SkillsUSA contest, said Richard Turner of PPG Industries, who headed the effort to design a test that would accurately measure student skills in the painting and refinishing category.
