RepairPal, a source for auto repair and maintenance information for consumers, today announced the addition of new advisory board member Mort Schwartz, an accomplished executive and leader in the automotive industry. Schwartz was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame last month in Dearborn, Michigan, joined by Paul & Robert Galvin of Motorola fame, early Formula 1 driver Phil Hill, legendary automotive journalist Bob Irvin, and 3 others.
Schwartz's 40-year career includes directorships and chairmanships of several major industry organizations including APAA (Automotive Parts and Accessories Association), AWDA (Automotive Warehouse Distributors Association), and the California Automotive Wholesalers Association. He is a founder of the Global Automotive Aftermarket Symposium. Schwartz currently serves on the board of directors of WORLDPAC, a major aftermarket parts distributor, is a consultant to General Parts Inc., and serves as a Trustee of the University of the Aftermarket Foundation.
"Mort Schwartz has been a true friend and advocate for RepairPal, and we couldn't be happier about his joining our advisory board and recent induction into the Automotive Hall of Fame, the highest level of recognition one can achieve within the automotive industry," said David Sturtz, CEO and co-founder of RepairPal.
