UNVEILING INNOVATION, CONNECTING ENTHUSIASTS, AND DRIVING SUCCESS
At Quality Automotive Equipment & Service, our commitment to staying at the forefront of the automotive industry led us to the heart of innovation — the 2023 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. SEMA, which stands for Specialty Equipment Market Association, is the epicenter of the $44.6 billion automotive aftermarket industry. It is an annual event that brings together industry leaders, enthusiasts, manufacturers, and vendors, fostering collaboration and showcasing the latest and greatest in automotive innovation.
ABOUT THE SEMA SHOW
The SEMA Show is not just another trade show; it is a dynamic platform designed to help small businesses thrive and succeed. This trade-only event is where automotive specialty equipment manufacturers coalesce with automotive giants to unveil groundbreaking products and connect with industry buyers from across the globe.

EXHIBITING COMPANIES:
The 2,400 exhibiting companies cover a broad spectrum, including manufacturers of automotive accessories that enhance performance, styling, comfort, convenience, and safety of vehicles. What sets SEMA apart is its commitment to fostering innovation by featuring companies exhibiting for the first time, bringing fresh, cutting-edge products to the market. While major automakers and leading aftermarket manufacturers always participate, the spotlight is often on small businesses owned and operated by passionate automotive enthusiasts who intimately understand vehicles and provide an offering that is new and unique to the industry.
This year, the show didn’t disappoint in this regard as the Quality AES team was in awe of some of the innovations that we as a team were able to put our own eyes on. From new EV technology and incredible car design to updated service shop equipment and updated ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), we all ate it up!
