The Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) announced that registration is now open for AAPEX 2025. The annual event brings together buyers and sellers from every segment of the $2.3 trillion global aftermarket. AAPEX 2025 will take place at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, from Nov. 4–6, 2025.
“For 30 years, AAPEX has attracted tens of thousands of global attendees and exhibitors who come to see the newest products, cutting-edge technologies and the best business—and hands-on training the aftermarket has to offer,” said President of MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers Paul McCarthy. “Yet every year when we ask participants why they attend, the top answer is consistently ‘for the networking’ because AAPEX is where business gets done.”
AAPEX 2025 Theme: Ready for Every Shift
The theme for AAPEX 2025 is “Ready for every shift.” This message highlights the resilience of the aftermarket supply chain. Attendees will hear more about this during the keynote breakfast, headlined by Hockey Legend Wayne Gretzky. Known for rising above physical disadvantages, Gretzky succeeded by thinking strategically. His story fits well with the event’s message of adaptability and change.
Industry Collaboration Drives Event Excellence
AAPEX is co-produced by MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers and the Auto Care Association. These organizations listen to industry feedback and implement annual improvements. Their efforts ensure AAPEX 2025 continues to meet attendee and exhibitor needs.
AAPEX 2025 Offers Unmatched Global Reach
Attendees can expect more than 2,700 global exhibitors and 5,500 booths. Exhibitors will include manufacturers, remanufacturers, tool and equipment makers, sourcing companies, warehouses, and service shops. These companies represent every corner of the aftermarket—from collision to tires.
More than 45,000 professionals from over 128 countries will attend. They range from senior executives to entry-level technicians. Attendees value the exclusive hands-on learning and global networking opportunities.
AAPEX 2025 Features Record-Breaking Training Sessions
AAPEX 2025 will offer its largest selection of training sessions ever. The event has already confirmed over 75 sessions. Presenters include WorldPac and NAPA Auto Parts, among others. Many exhibitors will also host technical sessions at their booths.
These sessions offer invaluable development for professionals at all career stages. Topics will cover everything from technical skills to business operations.
Joe’s Garage Returns with New Highlights
Joe’s Garage remains a major attraction at AAPEX. The space includes 10 operational service bays for real-world training. Throughout AAPEX 2025, attendees can join dozens of educational sessions and view 27 product demonstrations.
The demonstrations will showcase innovations in automotive service and repair. These live demos offer technicians valuable insights into new tools and processes.
New Student Competition Debuts
To help address the U.S. technician shortage, AAPEX continues supporting vocational and trade students. This year, AAPEX 2025 adds a competitive student event. Teams will race to disassemble and reassemble an engine inside Joe’s Garage.
This high-energy challenge highlights emerging talent and promotes careers in the aftermarket industry.
Enhanced Networking at AAPEX 2025
Based on attendee feedback, AAPEX 2025 introduces new networking experiences. A live band will play throughout the show. Daily “booth crawls” will encourage exploration of interactive exhibits.
Attendees can relax in expanded seating areas on the second floor. The reimagined “Beers & Gears” reception will return to Joe’s Garage on November 4, 2025, from 4:00-6:00 p.m.
“I’ve had the good fortune of being part of the automotive aftermarket for the better part of 40 years,” said Auto Care Association President and CEO Bill Hanvey. “One of the most remarkable aspects of AAPEX is that despite the magnitude of the market, this show is a bit like a homecoming every year – people genuinely enjoy reuniting and exploring how different parts of the market are addressing our current challenges.”
Register Now and Reserve Your Hotel
Interested attendees can register online. The AAPEX 2025 registration fee is $50 until June 27, 2025. After that, it rises to $75 through September 26, and $100 after.
Training sessions cost $150 each. A discounted package of five sessions is available for $400.

Stellantis celebrated a major milestone with the opening of its new Mopar Parts Distribution Center (PDC) in East Fishkill, New York. The $64 million facility enhances parts distribution across the Northeast and supports both dealers and customers.

“The launch of our new Mopar Parts Distribution Center in East Fishkill marks a significant investment in our long-term growth and service capabilities,” said Mopar Senior Vice President for North America Darren Bradshaw. “This facility supports our dedicated UAW-represented workforce with the tools and environment they need to succeed. By integrating cutting-edge technology and automation, we’re strengthening our supply chain, accelerating delivery times and reinforcing our commitment to dealer and customer satisfaction along with employee success.”
Mopar Parts Distribution Center Capacity and Strategic Positioning
The 534,000-sq.-ft. facility is strategically located to serve dealerships and customers across the Northeast. It houses over 46,000 unique parts and expects to process more than 2 million shipments each year.
Boosting Local Economy and Infrastructure
“The launch of the Mopar Parts Distribution Center is a tremendous boost for East Fishkill,” said Dutchess County Legislator Steve Caswell. “This facility is not just an investment in infrastructure, but in our people, our businesses and our future. Stellantis’ decision to bring this advanced distribution center and nearly 100 jobs to our community underscores our town’s potential as a growing hub for technological and economic development.”
Introducing Next-Generation AutoStore Technology
This Mopar PDC is

AutoStore includes 40 robotic units using advanced technology to move along a grid above stored parts. They retrieve parts from 70,000 bins across 18,000 square feet and deliver them to processing stations. PDC employees then prepare the final shipments for distribution. Enhancing Efficiency and Inventory Management
AutoStore automation boosts speed, accuracy and dependability of order completion. It also reduces the warehouse footprint needed for storing inventory.
Sustainability and the Mopar Parts Distribution Center
The East Fishkill Mopar Parts Distribution Center is one of 21 Mopar facilities in North America serving dealers and aftermarket customers. Mopar merged the Tappan and Boston PDCs to reduce the region’s storage footprint. The AutoStore system further decreases the physical space needed at the new East Fishkill location. These efforts support Stellantis’ broader goal of lowering carbon emissions.
