(See Page 26.) April 12: Magic Toyota's in-house training program for technicians: The Fixed Ops Journal Forum is back Fixed Ops Journal will hold its fourth annual conference this summer. And once again, it will be online. The COVID-19 pandemic forced dealership service departments to change how they operate. Now it's time for dealerships to take what they've learned in the last year and use those lessons to prepare for a radically different future. This year's Fixed Ops Journal Forum, " Ripe for Innovation, " will examine how transformation is coming to the service drive. It will focus on the tools and ideas that will be needed to succeed as vehicles become more sophisticated - and as fixed ops departments continue to carry the bulk of dealerships' profit load. THE DETAILS What: Fixed Ops Journal Forum Dates: Tuesdays, July 13, 20 & 27 and Aug. 3 & 10 Time: 2 p.m. ET Where: Online Registration: autonews.com/fojforum SPONSORS EXCLUSIVE LEAD PAGE 8 PLATINUM APRIL 2021 S008_AN_20210412.indd 8 4/5/21 4:07 PMhttp://www.autonews.com/2021fojvideo1 http://www.autonews.com/emailsignup http://www.autonews.com http://www.autonews.com/fojforum
