“TWI and CAR have the same mission – educating dealers,” said Amanda Young, director of customer relations for Manheim’s Online Solutions. “Our hope is that dealers will be able to attend CAR and TWI to learn new tools to help them achieve their business goals.”
Dealers who register for the session by Friday, Feb. 20, will receive a $100 discount on their CAR registrations. Dealers can visit www.thewholesaleinstitute.com or call (866) 423-5678 to sign up.
