AAPEX

AAPEX is a trade show for the automotive aftermarket, held every November and co-owned by the Auto Care Association and MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers. It gathers buyers and suppliers from every part of the aftermarket on a show floor of around 550,000 square feet (roughly 51,000 square meters), organized by product category across more than 1,400 categories.

Besides the exhibition, the program includes expert-led stage sessions on topics such as ADAS, electric vehicles, e-commerce and supply chain management, training for service and repair professionals, and a hands-on space for service and repair called Joe's Garage.

A student competition for automotive technology students and networking events such as the booth crawl and the buyers lunch complete the week.

Suppliers of underhood and undercar parts, EV and alternative fuel products, diagnostics and shop management tools, tools and equipment, remanufactured parts, and accessories and lighting.

Visitors range from executives to shop floor staff across the aftermarket, including warehouse distributors, retailers, buyers, and service and repair professionals, as well as automotive technology students.
