## Story

On August 19, Fix Auto Chicagoland sponsored the Alliance of Automotive Service Professionals of Illinois (AASPI) Golf Outing at Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club in Hoffman Estates, Illinois. The event provided an opportunity for collision repair professionals and industry partners to connect, strengthen relationships, and support the ongoing success of the repair industry throughout the region.

The team also sponsored the Jeff Attar Memorial Golf Outing (JAMO) on August 28 at the historic Cog Hill Golf & Country Club in Lemont, Illinois. The annual tournament honors the legacy of Jeff Attar while bringing together community members, corporate partners, and State Farm agents in support of charitable causes.

"Supporting events like these allow us to build meaningful relationships within our industry while giving back to the communities we serve," said John Denicolo, owner of Fix Auto Fox Valley and member of the Fix Auto Chicagoland group. "Whether we're networking with industry partners or supporting charitable initiatives, these opportunities reflect the values that are important to our business and our teams."

Through participation in events such as AASPI and JAMO, Fix Auto Chicagoland continues to demonstrate its commitment to industry leadership, community engagement, and strengthening connections throughout the collision repair industry.

"Our franchisees are deeply connected to their local communities and industry associations, and these events showcase the impact they can make both professionally and philanthropically," said Damien Reyna, Chief Operating Officer, Driven Brands Collision Group. "We're proud to support franchisees who continue to invest in relationships that help strengthen the industry while making a positive difference in the communities they serve."

Fix Auto USA applauds the Fix Auto Chicagoland team for its ongoing commitment to community involvement and industry support.
