TAB Meeting
By now, you may have heard of the Technician Advisory Board (TAB). TAB is a group of
technicians representing each US region based on Brand alignment, who have been selected to
represent you. Currently, these 8 technicians, aid in identifying opportunities with regard to
Aftersales Support Systems and policies.
TAB provides a conduit through which technicians can communicate issues to Group Aftersales
and work collaboratively toward solutions. By identifying and discussing opportunities, Group
Aftersales makes system and process modifications to positively impact the resources on which
you rely.
