VP Sales for CPS Automotive shares his views on the needs of the service professional.

Chuck has a challenge in finding good automotive sales people and relates that to the challenge in finding good technicians and shop owners. He also believes that top shop operators will pick up the slack as service centers close or continue to be challenged in today's business climate. He talks Turbo Chargers, maintenance vs. repair and the boomer retirement providing opportunity for young entrepreneurs.

Chuck Abbott also serves on the board of directors for the Automotive Maintenance and Repair Association (AMRA). He is also a newly elected board member of Equipment and Tool Institute (ETI) and is a member of Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
