Vancouver, British Columbia — Collision Repair magazine’s EV Repair Tour, supported by Fix Network, made its final stop of the year on Wednesday, where industry representatives from across the sector gathered at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) Burnaby campus to discuss the industry’s path as we shift toward electric vehicles.
