The Young Auto Care Network Group (YANG), in partnership with Federal-Mogul Motorparts and Garage Gurus, hosted its largest Regional Meet-Up to date on Monday, Oct. 3. More than 90 young auto care professionals met up at Federal-Mogul’s Garage Gurus headquarters in Southfield, Michigan.

YANG - Network Group - LogoAttendees feasted on local Detroit favorite Slows Bar BQ, competed in a LEGO pinewood derby competition for cash and prizes, and were entertained by live speed painter and motivational speaker Tim Decker. The evening culminated with plenty of time for attendees to network.

This event was held the day before the University of the Aftermarket’s Aftermarket 101 class, which also was hosted by Federal-Mogul Motorparts at its headquarters.

The YANG Regional Meet-Up program was launched in June 2015. All professionals, both members and non-members, under the age of 40 in the industry are encouraged to attend the events for in-person networking without having to travel far from home.
